About This Seaport
Three quays make up the Herøya terminal at Porsgrunn: a 175 m deepwater quay dredged to about 9.7 m, a 230 m crane quay and the 150 m Tinfos quay, all built to feed the surrounding Herøya Industrial Park rather than scheduled container lines. The port handles fertiliser raw materials for Yara Norway, manganese alloys for Eramet, plus dry and liquid bulk, general cargo, timber, project and heavy-lift consignments. In June 2024 Yara inaugurated a 24 MW renewable-hydrogen plant at Herøya — Europe's largest of its kind at the time — replacing natural-gas feedstocks and cutting annual CO₂ emissions at the Porsgrunn site by around 41,000 tonnes. The MV Yara Eyde, a 1,400 TEU ammonia-powered container vessel, is expected to be delivered in 2026 for emission-free liner service on the Oslo – Porsgrunn – Hamburg – Bremerhaven route. Road access uses the E18, with regional rail sidings serving the industrial estate, while the autonomous electric vessel MV Yara Birkeland shuttles fertiliser between the plant and the export port at Brevik. Shippers needing regular container slots generally route through nearby Brevik or Oslo.
