Approach to Norvik
The Approach to Norvik project aims to create better conditions for the shipping of the future by enabling a new, more efficient pilot boarding location for Nynäshamn, Norvik, Södertälje and the ports of Lake Mälaren. At the same time, the connecting fairway to the Port of Norvik will be developed to enable safer and smoother vessel traffic.
Approach to Norvik
The purpose of the project is to establish a shared pilot boarding point for vessels travelling to and from Södertälje/Lake Mälaren and Nynäshamn/Norvik. The aim is to create more efficient pilotage operations.
The project will result in a new fairway solution that:
-
reduces environmental impact through shorter travel distances for pilot boats and shorter routes for larger vessels
-
contributes to increased safety and better conditions for shipping
-
enables more efficient pilotage operations through a shared boarding point for Nynäshamn, Södertälje and the ports of Lake Mälaren
-
can be implemented without the need for dredging
Planned measures
New aids to navigation are planned, including new lighthouses, buoys and cairns.
Timeline
During 2026, preparatory work for the project will be carried out. This includes notifications concerning water operations, procurements and agreements, as well as applications for the necessary permits and exemptions, such as exemptions from shoreline protection regulations.
