With an increased share of the population vaccinated, and a steady drop in number of infections, Norway should not be too far away for re-opening for international tourism and cruising.
PanPorts.no is a common platform for local infection prevention measures for Norwegian cruise ports. The system was developed on the initiative by Port of Bergen supported by DNV and in co-operation with Cruise Norway. The corona infection rate is decreasing here in Norway and the Norwegian Government is now opening borders again.
Currently Norway is at step 3 in the reopening plan, and here are the latest news from the Norwegian Government regarding cruises along the Norwegian coast.
Port of Bergen has together with a project group consisting of members of Cruise Norway developed a common platform for local infection prevention measures.
The platform www.PanPorts.no will provide a clear and simple overview of the corona situation in the Norwegian cruise destinations, and the measures in place at local attractions and with activity providers.
In short the structure defines four tiers of contamination scenarios for each port. The tier level describes the current situation at the different cruise destinations and which measures that have to be in place to proceed the operation.
Implemented measures will also be described for each of the local sites.
Most Norwegian ports, destinations and attractions are represented at PanPorts.no and the goal is to make this an effective tool for cruise lines and shore ex agents when planning itineraries to Norway.
The PanPorts.no is an easy accessible platform which destinations, ports and agents may link to, and we plan to update the content at www.PanPorts.no as long as the corona situation in Norway requires adjusted measures.
