Port of Oslo: quay fees exemption and other discounts for environmentally friendly ships in 2026

"Ships that sail emission-free in and out of the port will be exempt for quay fees, while using shore power and achieving a high environmental score will earn additional discounts", announced the Oslo Port on 17/11/2025. On the other hand, "ships that do not adopt green solutions will pay more".

This decision echoed to the city aims to "cut emissions by 95% by 2030, and Oslo Port by 85%, to become emission-free", Oslo Port said. Since 2018, " €191M (of which €80M provided by Enova, Norway's State Decarbonisation Agency) have been invested in zero-emission infrastructure, reducing emissions from port activities by 26%", from 47,700 tons of CO2 in 2017 to 35,000 in 2024.

"We are changing previous discounts for scheduled traffic to reward ships that cut emissions. Cargo ships using shore power will receive a 20% discount. The goal is to promote environmentally friendly sea transport", said commercial Director Einar Marthinussen. The environmental discounts are calculated thanks to "the Environmental Port Index (EPI) for cruise ships and Environmental Ship Index for all ships".
