Seaward approach Kragerø - deepening

Description

The main fairway goes south-west of Jomfruland through the area by Knubbhausen, and further past Strømtangen lighthouse. The fairway then turns north-east to Kragerø Port. The secondary fairway from Kragerø to Hellefjorden passes Galeioddbåene and continues in a north-easterly direction. There are private quays located in the Valberg area for shipping of rock material. The secondary fairway continues further through Lovisenbergsundet to the quay facilities in Hellefjorden. The purpose of the renovation of the fairway is to increase safety and accessibility to and from the port facilities in the area. Increased safety is achieved by increasing vessels' manoeuvring room and thereby increasing the safety margin by the fairway being broader, deeper and with fewer alterations of course. The planned deepening shall facilitate better accessibility and the possibility of increased tonnage to inland industrial and industrial areas.
