Norway – Support services for water transport – Market dialogue: Award of sailing times for ferry routes in the Sandefjord port.

Sandefjord kommune is preparing a process for awarding sailing times for ferry routes to and from the Sandefjord port, with planned start of operations 1 January 2031. Before the process ́s organisation, requirements, terms and schedule are determined, we invite the market to provide input on interest, necessary time limits and other prerequisites. The market dialogue is not part of a competition or application process. Participation is voluntary and does not affect the ability to participate in a later process. Sandefjord kommune encourages both relevant operators and other relevant market participants to give written input.
