Soya beans, silicon, timber, steel, chemicals and oils make up the bulk of what moves across the quays at Fredrikstad. This river port on the Glomma is part of Borg Havn IKS, formed by merging the ports of Fredrikstad and Sarpsborg and offering more than 2,000 metres of quay; together the port group handles around 34,400 TEU and roughly 2.78 million tonnes of cargo a year, serving local paper, chemical and metal industries. Eimskip connects Fredrikstad to its European network via the Orange Line and Red Line services. The approach channel at Fredrikstad is shallow at just under five metres, so larger vessels use the deeper berths within the wider port group. Road and rail give straightforward access to the Oslo region and the Østfold hinterland. Borg Havn is investing in green infrastructure: the Liebherr LPS 420 E — Norway's first all-electric portal slewing crane — has been ordered, and the Borg CO2 project targets 120,000 tonnes of annual CO2 capture from nearby waste-to-energy plants, with Phase 1 expected on stream in 2026. For larger container vessels or wider liner choice, nearby Oslo and Gothenburg in Sweden are the practical alternatives.
