New port of call regulations will come into force on 1 January 2025 to strengthen the control of foreign vessels during voyages and calls in Norwegian territorial waters.
This update, announced by Norway’s Ministry of Defense, aims to enhance security by increasing oversight of foreign vessels operating along the Norwegian coast.
Among other amendments, the size of vessels required to notify and report obligation will be reduced from the current 24 metres to 15 metres. This adjustment means that smaller vessels, such as tugs, yachts and expedition vessels, will now fall under the same reporting requirements as larger vessels. Unmanned and autonomous vessels will also be covered.
Vessels that are obliged to submit port call notifications should do so through the common national portal developed by the Norwegian Coastal Administration, SafeSeaNet Norway. Alternatively, the port of call notification is sent directly to the Armed Forces at the Armed Forces' operational headquarters.
Norway is reintroducing penalties for non-compliance, which had been removed in a previous regulatory update. This means foreign vessels that fail to report in accordance with the rules may face sanctions.
