Husnes is essentially a company port built around aluminium. Sør-Norge Aluminium started production here in 1962, and the smelter — now Hydro Husnes, Norway's fourth-largest primary-aluminium producer — drives almost all vessel traffic. The works quay handles alumina and anode materials inbound and ships primary aluminium ingots and billets outbound, rather than containers or general merchant cargo, and customs work is tied to these industrial flows. Pier depths of around 9 m suit bulk and breakbulk carriers serving the plant, sheltered within the Sunnhordland fjords. Shippers needing container or conventional general-cargo services use Bergen or Stavanger nearby. With no rail link, feeder movements run by road and coastal vessel.
