Seeking measures in the sea

All construction measures in the sea within the Kristiansand and Lindesnes port district require a permit under the Port and Fairway Act. Applications must be submitted to the Port of Kristiansand.

Information about the obligation to apply for measures in the sea

The purpose of the Port of Kristiansand is to facilitate the best possible planning, development and operation of ports and to ensure safe navigation, cf. Section 1 of the Port and Fairway Act.

An application must be made to the Port of Kristiansand for permission to lay floating docks, establish quays, landfills, lay water and sewage pipes, etc.

In addition, an application must be submitted to the technical department in Kristiansand or Lindesnes municipality for processing under the Planning and Building Act. Measures require permits under both acts, and can therefore not be implemented until both permits have been obtained.
