 Oslo : Profile
Although the capital city of Norway, Oslo remains a very rural place, being closely surrounded by mountains and lakes. Having been destroyed by fire and rebuilt several times in its thousand year history, it has an interesting architecture.
Harbour Master
Tel:+46 (0) 703413920
Approaches
Opening 50m wide and 4m deep dredged between Smaskjaera and mainland. Position 59°39.84'N, 010°36.15'E. The passage is marked by R and G beacons with lights.
There is a new dredged small boat channel on the west side of the fairway.
Berthing
There are more than ten boat clubs offering berths to visiting boats. These range from harbours in the centre of the city to quiet places on the islands in the fjord.
Herbern Marina is the closest to the centre of the city, while those on the eastern side of the Bygdoy peninsular, in Frognerkien, are not too far away. Quieter, yet still convenient for the city, are the two marinas on the island of Hovedoya.
