Støtteordning for godstransport etter brukollapsen på Dovrebanen

Jernbanedirektoratet publishes a page titled "Støtteordning for godstransport etter brukollapsen på Dovrebanen – Randklev bru". The page states that Samferdselsdepartementet introduced two støtteordninger ("to støtteordninger") for freight companies that have, or have had, losses of income as a result of the collapse of Randklev bru on the Dovrebanen line.

This scheme record corresponds to the second of those two støtteordninger. The page describes a second support period running 14.02.2024–20.05.2024 (through the reopening of the Dovrebanen), stating that "Den andre støtteordningen dekker tapene for perioden etter GBER-ordningen til åpningen av Dovrebanen" (the second support scheme covers the losses for the period after the GBER scheme until the opening of the Dovrebanen).

The page states that 150 million kroner was allocated in the 2024 state accounts ("150 millioner kroner i statsregnskapet for 2024") for support to freight companies in connection with the Randklev bru collapse, alongside 120 million kroner in the 2023 state accounts.

Eligibility, per the page: railway undertakings (jernbaneforetak) as defined in the rail regulations that transported goods on the Dovrebanen at the time of the collapse and can document financial losses as a result of the collapse.

Application: applicants submit a completed application form with required documentation to Jernbanedirektoratet. The page states "Søknadsfristen er passert for denne støtteordningen" (the application deadline has passed for this support scheme); no specific closing date is printed.
