Land and property

The Port of Kristiansand manages land and infrastructure that safeguards the port's strategic areas and strengthens the port's finances over time. 

Port operations require major investments in infrastructure, and over the next few years, the Port of Kristiansand will undergo a transformation process that includes moving the container terminal from the center of Kristiansand to a new port section north of the city center. This will be a costly process.

In addition to income from port-related activities, the investments will be financed by income related to the port's property portfolio. The most well-known and largest project is the development of Kanalbyen at Silokaia. The Port of Kristiansand has a 50% stake in the project through the company Kanalbyen Utvikling AS, the other half is owned by JBU Eiendom and Vedal Utvikling through the company JBU Kanalbyen AS.

Canal city

Odderøya is an attractive outdoor area and is in the process of establishing itself as a regional cultural center. Kilden Theater and Concert Hall opened in early 2012 and is located at the northern end of Silokaia. The Silokaia/Kanalbyen area is located on the west side of Odderøya.

While the island is located in the middle of the idyllic southern archipelago, it is only a few minutes' walk to both the famous fishing pier and Kristiansand city center. Port operations were discontinued here in 2016, and within a few years the development of the brand new Kanalbyen district will take shape. The first stage of construction is already underway, and the first residents are expected to move in during 2018.

In 2010, Kristiansand Havn KF established the subsidiary Kanalbyen Utvikling AS. The company will be responsible for the urban development of the port's properties at Silokaia. Sven Erik Knoph is the company's general manager. The Port Board is the company's general meeting.
