Offshore vessels at the Port of Bergen

The Port of Bergen has frequent visits from offshore vessels. The ships utilize most of the quays in the port. An increasing number of offshore vessels are using shore power while docking at the port. This means they switch off their diesel engines and instead use electricity from the shore.
