Stad ship tunnel - The world's first ship tunnel
On behalf of Marstrand, Energy Consult AS has contributed our
knowledge to the Report on Cost and Uncertainty Analysis, which provides an increased
understanding of the project’s risk and contributes to greater clarity around
the assumptions. Among other things, it increases awareness of where it is most important to
focus attention in the management of the project.
This is an important project for Norway, the Stadhavet is known for its strong winds and
capricious waves that make the area a dangerous place and the project will
reduce the risk for ship traffic along the Norwegian coast.
Energy Consult AS is very pleased to have contributed to this complex project, which will be the first ship tunnel in the world.
