The freight port
Regional freight hub
The freight terminal in the Port of Bergen, located at Dokken, is a regional hub for cargo transported by sea. As a result of urban development in central port areas in Bergen, the Port of Bergen has invested in land at Ågotnes in Øygarden municipality and at Flesland, with plans to develop areas as alternative locations of today’s port activities. Work is now being carried out in parallel on a development at Ågotnes and a temporary container port at Jekteviken. The cargo volume over Bergen Port’s quays in 2024 was 439,342 tonnes. The number of TEUs was 31,019 in 2024.
