Due to the unexpected COVID-19 outbreak, we received 5 of the 99 booked cruise calls.

Unfortunately, Norwegian gov-ernment still has impost strict regulations on cruising in Nor-wegian waters until 01.02.2021.

They allow sailing with 200 per-sons on board (crew, pax) but no disembarkation.

In early 2020 Trondheim and

Trøndelag region got awarded

the title of European region of

Gastronomy in 2022.

This is yet another milestone to

create international awareness

as well as recognize and value

the high standards of our local

food sector.

We are so lucky to have the

The Speilsalen restaurant in the

newly renovated, historical Ho-

tel Britannia earned a Michelin

star this year, just one year after

reopening.

Restaurants Credo and Fagn

kept their awarded Michelin

stars from 2019.

We are looking into offering

shore excursion experiences to

Hotel Britannia.

Speilsalen at Hotel Britannia

worlds purest produce available

that are being prepared by very

talented and dedicated chefs.

Trondheim Port aims to offer

shore power to cruise ships by

2025.

The amount of capacity needed

is not available at Brattøra-area

at the moment. Major invest-

ments have to be considered in

close cooperation with munici-

pality, power suppliers and oth-

er users of electricity within the

area.

Please assist us by conveying your

specifications for kv, MW, Hz

and plug so that we can plan ac-

APPROVED JOINT CRUISE STRATEGY

RECEIVE AVAILABILITY CALENDAR

Spreading calls

Clipping of the availability calendar

Port, destination, chamber of com-

merce and municipality compiled a

joint cruise strategy. Last year it

was ratified by the city council on

17.12.2019.

This joint strategy as well as

Trondheim ports own strategy, tar-

gets sustainable growth in cruise

business.

Together with 12 other cruise mu-

nicipalities in Norway, Trondheim

signed the joint declaration of will

in 2019, declaring to intensify work

on reducing emissions caused by the

cruise ships in port.

Adopted joint

cruise strategy

SHORE POWER BY 2025

We started distributing an availa-

bility calendar in 2019 to cruise

line representatives.

The calendar is updated continu-

ously and can be requested, but is

send out with even intervals.

We hope that the calendar will

make plotting easier and that it

will help us spread calls more

evenly. Avoiding tender calls is

also favourable. We practice the

“first-come first-serve” rule.

Shore Power by 2025

We are currently working on a Port Management Plan for Trondheim based on the EU-guidelines for handling cruise calls.

National legislation in Norway is strict and the governments approval to sail is needed. All national restrictions have to be adhered.

Local restrictions are the con-tent of the PMP, which has to

get approved by our local chief municipal physician.

We aim to distribute the plan by January 2021.

TERMS, CONDITIONS AND PRICES 2021

determine building a new cruise quay at

the breakwater along the cruise quay is to

be finished by 2021.

UPGRADES IN 2020

fender system of the cruise quay

had to be postponed due to covid

-19 budget reductions.

Sistranda quay at the destination

of Frøya got ISPS-approved and is

ready to facilitate its first cruise

call.

This year we added more space

to the ISPS-area (see figure

above).

The walk-way between the

cruise pier and the city centre

recreational area for both visi-

tors and locals.
