Chemicals, specialty cellulose, lignin products and forest goods make up the bulk of what moves across the quays at Sarpsborg, an industrial river port on the lower Glomma. The site operates as a sub-port of the Borg Havn IKS authority and is closely tied to Borregaard, one of the world's leading bio-refineries. A fairway depth of about 4.9 m limits calls to smaller general-cargo and tanker vessels, and no scheduled container service operates here. Inland links run via the E6 motorway and the Norwegian rail network toward Oslo, while the Glomma itself carries only local traffic. Freight forwarders handling containers or larger bulk parcels typically route through the main Borg Havn facility at nearby Fredrikstad, or via Oslo. Customs clearance follows standard Norwegian import-export procedure, in practice arranged around the resident industrial users.
