On the fjord-lined coast of Western Norway, Karmsund pairs a national fishery port with a modern multipurpose terminal, an unusual combination that serves both seafood and industrial clients. The Husøy facility at Haugesund handles containers, roll-on/roll-off, dry bulk, general cargo and break-bulk, and acts as a supply base for offshore oil, gas and wind projects. Annual throughput is around 1.5 million tonnes across roughly 700 to 800 vessel calls, making it Norway's third-largest port authority. For forwarders, the port suits mixed industrial, project and reefer-fish consignments rather than high-volume container liner traffic. As Norway sits outside the EU customs union but within the EEA, standard import and export clearance applies at the terminal. Larger container flows are better routed via Bergen or Stavanger's Risavika hub.
