Tilskudd til investering i effektive og miljøvennlige havner

This grant scheme is administered by Kystverket and published on its own website at https://www.kystverket.no/effektivehavner (which resolves to the scheme page under kystverket.no/havn/tilskuddsordninger). Kystverket describes the purpose of the scheme as follows: "Tilskudd til investering i effektive og miljøvennlige havner skal bidra til å effektivisere logistikkjeden gjennom tiltak i havn." ("Grants for investment in efficient and environmentally friendly ports shall contribute to making the logistics chain more efficient through measures in ports.")

Eligible applicants are stated by Kystverket as "Eiere og operatører av havner og havneanlegg som er allment tilgjengelige" ("Owners and operators of ports and port facilities that are publicly accessible"). The page notes that enterprises in difficulty, or enterprises with an outstanding repayment obligation following a European Commission decision, are excluded.

The application deadline (søknadsfrist) stated on the page is 18. mars 2026 (18 March 2026). Investments supported under the scheme must be completed by 30. november 2029 (30 November 2029).

On funding, the page states that the allocation for 2026 is "i overkant av 133 millioner kroner" (just over 133 million NOK). The maximum support per project is stated as EUR 5 millioner (EUR 5 million), and the maximum subsidy rate is 80 percent of eligible costs (80 % of støtteberettigede kostnader).

Applications are submitted by email to post@kystverket.no, marked with case number "saksnr. 2025/106". For questions, the page lists a named contact reachable at oyvind.sandbakk@kystverket.no and telephone 70 23 10 94.

The page makes available a set of downloadable documents, including a søknadsskjema (application form, in both bokmål and nynorsk), an investeringsanalyse (Excel), a nytteberegning (Excel), the retningslinjer for the scheme, and a veileder (guidance document). Because no stable direct file URLs for these documents were captured, the structured documents field is left empty; the documents themselves are reachable from the scheme page.

The English alternate name recorded for this scheme is "Aid Scheme for investments in efficient and environmentally friendly maritime ports".
