There are docking or mooring provisions for visiting yachts in all ports, although occasionally a dock may be privately owned and permission to use it should be obtained first. The widest range of repair facilities are in the main yachting centres such as Oslo, Stavanger and Bergen, which also have the best docking facilities. Particularly recommended is Her Bern Marina situated in the old Akers shipyard right in the centre of Oslo. Good facilities are also available at Kristiansand, where most repairs can be undertaken and there also is a chandlery and sailmaker. Provisioning is good everywhere, but the price of food is very high.
Fuel is available in all ports.
LPG containers may be refilled only in the main centres, and it may be necessary to have the right adaptor. Weather Summer weather beyond the Arctic Circle, both in continental Norway and further north, is unreliable. Visibility on most days can be poor, with low mist. Winds can be occasionally strong and the weather can change very suddenly. All ports are ports of entry except those in military areas.
