Port of Larvik (PoL) in brief:
Presently, PoL is in an expansive phase and has an annual cargo turnover in the region up to two million tons. The traffic through the port can be divided into four main segments: container traffic, ferry traffic, stone export and other general cargo traffic.
In 2008, Europe’s most modern ferry facilities were opened at Revet. At the same time, Color Line`s new ferry “SuperSpeed 2” was introduced to the Larvik-Hirtshals line and crossing time reduced to only 3 hours 45 minutes.
In the subsequent years, considerable investments have been made into container operations. Container facilities include both gantry crane and mobile harbour crane and 270 meters of container quay. Figures for 2010 showed a volume of 57.900 TEUs, an increase of 5 percent from 2009, bringing the PoL up to the second largest container port in Norway for the third year in a row.
Three shipping companies Unifeeder, MSC, Samskip and Tschudi Lines operate regular container lines via Larvik and Antwerp, Rotterdam, Immingham and Hamburg.
