The Port of Eidfjord in Norway is nearing completion of a quay extension that will enable all vessels calling at the port to access shore power, marking a key infrastructure upgrade in Hardangerfjord.
The quay is being extended by 40 metres, bringing its total length to 160 metres. The project is scheduled for completion by 30 April 2026.
In addition, construction is underway on the platform between the quay and the shoreside, where the shore power facility will be installed. Installation of shore power is planned to begin at the end of this year, with the system expected to be fully operational for the 2027 cruise season.
At the Port of Ulvik, a new concrete floating dock has been installed, enabling the port to accommodate a greater number of tenders for larger vessels. This investment was completed in September 2025.
Several new activities are also being made available for guests visiting Eidfjord, including a farm visit within walking distance of the port, cider tasting at Eidfjord Hotel, located 300 metres from the port, and guided mountain hikes approximately 50 kilometres from the port.
The port is also now able to arrange live music for an arrival experience, with options including a guitarist or a performer playing a traditional Norwegian horn.
