Corona Situation

Port of Tromsø monitors the coronavirus situation closely, and our focus is health and safety.

We have to consider different measures and regulations. Port of Tromsø follows all advice and regulations from national and local authorities, and we do what we can to assist our customers, partners, suppliers and others.

Different autorites are continously assessing different measures to limit the spreading of the Corona Virus. Port of Tromsø receives several questions regarding this, and it is important to stress that we cannot go beyond the regulations other autorities put in place.

To help finding relevant information, we have a collection of links that might be useful especially for Sea Traffic entities:

Everyone is Affected

The extraordinary measures from government and municipality and others to limit the spreading of the Corona Virus, causes substantial effects in society. Several of our customers have had to close down for a period including temporarily lay offs. We do understand that this is a challenging situation for both businesses and the employees affected.

We are considering what measures we can do to help the situations, and we have noted the governmental immidiate and planned acts to mitigate the effects of the virus situation on the economy.
