Port of Oslo's vision is to become the world's most efficient and environmentally friendly urban port. Innovation, green technology, and collaboration are crucial to the port becoming emissions-free over the long term.

Norway's largest freight and passenger port facilitates environmentally friendly maritime transport and helps make Oslo an attractive city. The port plays a significant role in Oslo's climate strategy and the green shift.

Port of Oslo’s vision to become a zero-emission facility will help achieve its goal to shift cargo from road to sea, and reduce emissions from ships and land transport. In collaboration with customers and partners, we will develop a port of the future, in line with the municipality’s zero-emission vision and established cost-benefit principles.

Port of Oslo has been ISO 14001 environmentally certified since 2011.
