Conditions Thousands of tourists were once again streaming off a large cruise ship in Oslo on Tuesday but no longer from prime berthing space in the Norwegian capital’s inner harbour The cruise ships will soon have to cut their emissions while in port the largest cruise ships calling on Oslo are no longer being allowed to block views both of and from the historic Akershus Fortress and Castle There are a few exceptions to the stricter controls but the vast majority of the roughly 150 cruise ships now sailing in and out of Oslo have been relegated to areas outside the city center The restrictions come after debate and criticism over how the large ships overwhelmed the inner harbor while sailing in They’ve been described as “floating high-rise hotels,” often towering above the buildings at Oslo’s exclusive Aker Brygge and Tjuvholmen areas The large ships had been allowed to tie up alongside Oslo’s well-preserved fortress and castle from the 1300s meaning that visitors stolling along the fortress walls could no longer see views down the fjord staring instead into cruiseship balconies on the 10th deck or higher Those sitting at popular outdoor bars and restaurants across the harbour at Aker Brygge could no longer see the castle and fortress Cultural organizations that mount annual outdoor theater performances and concerts inside the walls of the fortress were also frustrated by the cruise ships’ public address systems One of the Disney cruise ships had a habit of blaring the first bars of the old song “When you wish upon a star,” ruining the final act of a play in progress when the shiip sailed while Princess Cruises’ ships often blasted the theme song from the old TV series “The Love Boat” – to the delight of passengers The cruise ships also closed off large portions of what’s otherwise a popular area for walking Now they’ve been moved to the Filipstad harbour area just across the water from Tjuvholmen and west of downtown and to the Revierkai behind Akershus at Bjørvika Since cruise berthings are often planned long in advance a few of the ships will still have to be allowed to tie up in front of Akershus because of overbookings “There are around eight or nine ships that we didn’t manage to move (to Filipstad or Revierkai) between June and September,” Einar Marthinussen of the Oslo Harbour authority told newspaper Aftenposten last month He confirmed that total capacity for cruise berthings will be reduced to between 70 and 100 per year: “We’re working hard to make cruise sustainable.” The sustainability efforts in Oslo include projects and regulations that will also force vessels to turn off their diesel-fuelled engine systems from 2025 and hook up to electricity systems being installed on the docks That’s also planned at other ports in Norway to reduce emissions from the visiting ships Oslo retailers and restaurants aren’t expected to lose much business as cruise capacity is reduced since cruise passengers usually eat and drink on board Surveys over the years have indicated they don’t spend much in local shops “A few shops rely on cruise tourists but we’ve never been able to confirm that they leave much money in Oslo,” said Jon Anders Henriksen commercial director of the retailers’ association Oslo Handelstandsforening More cruise restrictions loom elsewhere in Norway where vessel emissions have polluted the air and passengers have overrun small communities along the fjord Only emissions-free vessels will be allowed from 2026 on the fjord that’s a UN World Heritage Site although vessels can use bio-gas during a transition period Cruise ship owners may also have to meet tougher Norwegian rules regarding wages and working conditions if at least half of a scheduled cruise takes place in Norway Some local authorities are objecting to the new state demands arguing that the cruise business has become important even if it only amounts to souvenir sales or sightseeing services who runs several local sightseeing boats in downtown Oslo thinks the cruise crackdown can cut ticket sales at local museums and force more use of bus transport for cruise passengers He wrote recently that he doesn’t think the cruise ships either pollute the harbour or unleash too many people claiming that the arguments against cruise ships in Bergen Geiranger or even Venice don’t apply in Oslo authorities are also trying to crack down on cruise traffic “As one of Europe’s biggest cruise destinations it can mean a lot globally if we say ‘thanks but no thanks’ to these floating cities that sail all over and clearly are not sustainable,” Thor Haakon Bakke candidate for city government leader in Bergen for the Greens Party told newspaper Bergens Tidendene last month The Greens want Bergen to be “cruise-free” from 2027 and use their harbour areas “for something entirely different.” Bakke wants to pull down fencing around cruise docks and open the waterfront area up for parks Controversial plans are underway to build a large new cruise harbour at Eidsvika on Askøy Greens Party politicians are objecting to that on the grounds it would destroy the natural surroundings reported newspaper Klassekampen on Tuesday with the Greens asking other parties to clarify their position on plans for a new cruise harbour Neither the Conservatives nor the Progress Party have come to any conclusions

READ MORE NewsInEnglish.no is a free and independent Oslo-based website offering news from Norway It’s run on a voluntary basis by veteran journalists keen to share insight into Norwegian politics Giorgio is developing an automated battery replacement system that could streamline the operation of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and eliminate the need for human intervention during battery swaps Drones are increasingly used in various sectors from search and rescue operations to surveillance of power lines they face a significant limitation in battery life The necessity for a human operator to manually switch to charged batteries is time-consuming and restricts the drone's flight time and capacity Giorgio's project aims to solve this problem "Having an automated system to do this for you would primarily reduce the need for manual labour by humans meaning the drone can be operated faster and more efficiently This would enable the drone to have much more continuous operating time than today's drones," he explains The specialisation in Robotics and Control emphasises understanding the technologies and methodologies behind modern robots industrial process control and autonomous systems Robotics and Control systems are combined with AI and computer technologies to develop and demonstrate digital twins smart production technology and Industry 4.0 While automated battery replacement systems have already been developed for certain types of drones there are none for the type Giorgio is working on – a fixed-wing which can take off and land vertically but flies like a regular aeroplane The solution he is developing involves a landing platform that extracts the used battery puts it on charge and inserts a fully charged battery – all without human intervention Giorgio was working on the process for removing and inserting the battery “I am focusing on developing a customised solution that will use actuators and motors to remove the battery and in a way ‘rotate’ out a charged battery The next step will be to develop a casing to secure all the hardware and continue its mission under various weather conditions Giorgio aims to have a functional prototype built by the end of the semester He has access to most of the necessary tools and can order additional resources through his supervisor The project is led by Department of Mechanical Electrical and Chemical Engineering OsloMet and Giorgio believes it could have practical applications once he has developed the prototype and might even be patented Giorgio completed his bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering at OsloMet before starting his master's specialisation in Robotics and Control He praises the practical learning methods used at OsloMet and especially enjoys the practical part of his specialisation involving laboratories where one can test and check how the theory actually works Giorgio believes his work on drone technology demonstrates the innovative and practical learning method that OsloMet promotes and he would therefore like to recommend the university to others Giorgio advises taking studies seriously from the outset and developing good work habits early in the course He also emphasises the importance of utilising available resources and building strong relationships with lecturers he believes that having a passion for what you study is the most important factor "I have developed a passion for electronics and programming that I wouldn't have had the chance to explore if I hadn't started studying here," he says hoping to continue his educational journey in Robotics and Control Giorgio's story is an example of how OsloMet students exploit the opportunities they are given to make progress in their field he also sets an example of what OsloMet students can work on Port of Oslo receives 20 million NOK from Enova to build a shore power plant for cruise ships at Filipstadkaia CITY AND PORT WELCOME NEW FUNDING: Vice-Mayor for Business Development and Public Ownership welcome support for shore power facilities in Oslo Harbor The photograph is from Rådhusbryggene in Oslo An additional 10 million NOK goes toward constructing a shore power plant for tankers/chemical and CO2 ships at Tankskiputstikkeren on Sjursøya Today's announcement is welcome news after the port closed Akershuskaia and Vippetangen for cruise traffic this summer Port of Oslo will now be able to offer shore power at two cruise quays – Filipstadkaia and Revierkaia in 2025 five years before the EU requirement for shore power in 2030 - Oslo's ambitious environmental policy includes the harbor I'm pleased the government supports shore power for tankers and a shore power facility for cruise ships This funding will help reduce emissions from ships moored at the quay the port will establish shore power for cruise ships at Revierkaia Cruise ships will continue to dock at Filipstad until the area is redeveloped for urban use so shore power must be available during the transitional period While we welcome the income cruises generate for the local economy and increased museum visitors cruise ships arriving in Oslo must take green conversion seriously Vice-Mayor for Business Development and Public Ownership Port of Oslo is already building shore power for cruise ships at Revierkaia on Vippetangen cruise ships using shore power will receive priority here Port of Oslo is one of Norway's largest cruise ports in terms of passenger traffic 266,020 passengers visited the capital on 166 cruise ships - When the port builds a shore power plant Today's announcement is a clear signal to all cruise lines that it will be mandatory for cruise ships calling at Oslo to use shore power in the near future Cruise lines tend to book two to three years in advance so shipping companies can already plan for the shift to shore power The shore power facility at Filipstad can accommodate one ship at a time with a maximum high-voltage output of 16 MW.  - Port of Oslo is pleased with the support from Enova It will now be possible to offer shore power to every cruise ship arriving in Oslo requires the establishment of a mobile shore power plant at Filipstad Enova funding makes it possible to build such an onshore power plant The port's board must now approve the investment - Maritime transport is environmentally friendly compared to transport by road As part of the city's plan to see Oslo become a zero-emissions port we are working to cut emissions and increase the number of ships using shore power A shore power plant for tankers/chemical and CO2 ships on Sjursøya will supply both high and low-voltage power - Forty percent of Norway's fuel supply and aviation fuel for Oslo Airport ships through Port of Oslo Such a

in here to leave a comment Norway’s leading orchestra is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year highlighted by special “birthday concerts” this weekend Now the Oslo Philharmonic hopes it may get a new concert hall as the ultimate birthday present while a new book delves into the orchestra’s often turbulent history He’ll turn over the baton to young Klaus Mäkelä from Finland next year has thrown her support behind the Filipstad project and encouraged the audience at another celebratory concert last month to support the building efforts She cited years of calls for a new and better building to house the orchestra that’s also won acclaim abroad The Filipstad project is backed by hotel developers Petter Stordalen and Anders Buchardt who have offered to finance it in return for permission to build a hotel and conference center adjacent to it on the former harbour property that’s due for redevelopment Others think Oslo has been building enough large cultural landmarks like the new National Museum, Munch Museum and city library and could expand on or even recycle the Philharmonic’s present home in the heart of Oslo’s downtown Vika business district Newspaper Aftenposten reported last month that other plans have been hatched to build a new concert hall on top of the existing Konserthus crowning it with a glass structure that Dyrvik Architects and local real estate investor Storebrand Eiendom think would be more environmentally friendly than an entirely new building “A new concert hall (literally on top of the old) could open up new opportunities and be a modern and well-functioning venue for around 2,000 with optimal accoustics,” writes Dyrvik on its website “could become a vital musicians’ house of sorts.” The project quickly won support from another leading Norwegian architect who also advises the city planning agency “If there’s any building in Oslo that’s suitable for an addition it must be this one,” he wrote in Aftenposten earlier this month Røynesdal and the leader of the Oslo Philharmonic’s board the former head of Norway’s powerful national employers’ organization NHO Kristin Skogen Lund are skeptical and still want a new building They note that the Philharmonic has put up with a concert hall that was a compromise location from its beginning more than 40 years ago Now they’ve been offered a “suitable” site at Filipstad that would be a “realistic manageable project.” The head of Oslo’s city agency in charge of historic preservation (Byantikvaren) is also skeptical towards modifying the existing Konserthuset As the debate over a new home for the Philharmonic goes on project leader for the orchestra’s jubilee have stressed how important a symphony concert still is in modern and hectic times when many find themselves mostly wearing headphones and staring at computer or telephone screens Røynesdal and Hagen promoted what the called “active listening” in a collective meeting place where phones and other interruptive devices are turned off for a while “We believe orchestra concerts have never been so important … perhaps as a contrast to what fills our lives otherwise,” they wrote in Aftenposten last month The Oslo Philharmonic’s 100th birthday celebrations along with how classic music has been and is important for the public That included Nazi German occupiers during World War II who arguably misused the orchestra that kept playing with German soloists and at events that hailed Norway’s Nazi occupiers In his book entitled Lyden av Oslo (The Sound of Oslo) Fidjestol writes about the orchestra’s German Jewish violinist Ernst Glaser who ultimately had to flee to Sweden to avoid deportation “Afterwards the orchestra continued to play for those who wanted to kill Glaser,” Fidjestol told newspaper Dagsavisen last week when the book was released “That says something about the human drama that played out.” The orchestra has also been used as part of Norway’s “nation building” efforts the orchestra had a Soviet conductor “in a NATO country during the Cold War!” Fidjestol exclaimed The orchestra has at the very least adapted to changing times and today the Oslo Philharmonic is regarded as one of Europe’s leading orchestras which sets off on international concert tours every year It’s clearly wanted to just keep the music playing which it will surely do throughout its jubilee year newsinenglish.no/Nina Berglund The Port of Oslo builds on shore power for all ship types The Port of Oslo aims to cut emissions by 85% by 2030 and become a zero-emission port in the long term The first major step towards fulfilling the zero emission vision was taken in 2011  by building shore power for Color Line's cruise ferries at Hjortnes Color Fantasy and Color Magic were the first large ships in Norway to switch off their diesel engines when berthing The Port of Oslo's zero-emissions vision requires large amounts of electricity for ships buildings and electric vessels on rails and wheels The Port of Oslo builds infrastructure that creates good framework conditions for the shipping companies that will invest in the ships of the future This involves investments in the billions

seasons in years Many staunchly defended the high costs and reckless abandon of their traditionally wild celebrations while others think it went too far this year and are calling for changes face final exams and decide whether it was all worth it The climax of their party season has for years taken place on Norway’s national day on the 17th of May That allowed another full weekend of partying during which another russ was seriously injured at an encampment in Verdal where fighting had broken out and he was run over by an allegedly drunk driver which traditionally begins around Easter and runs until May 17 set off a flood of media coverage and commentaries The russ party season was described as everthing from a “meaningless” period of bad behaviour to a frightening time for those encountering russ “It’s been proven once again that russ celebrations have developed into a sexualized and pompous display of bad taste,” wrote one high school teacher in newspaper Dagasvisen last week Kjetil Mygland of the Sonans High School in Drammen wondered “whatever has happened” to earlier teen-age generations’ commitment to rebelling “against unfairness poverty and human suffering?” Instead they “roll around” in elaborate buses assault one another and spend as much as NOK 100,000 on their russ experience “Some of us believe this has escalated into becoming a problem for society,” Mygland wrote adding that “many will agree … that russ celebrations in their current form must be abolished.” That can be done by scheduling final exams for before the 17th of May “to limit the russ’ room” for partying Four counties in Norway are calling for exactly that and have the support of some russ themselves Heads keep shaking over why the mostly 18- and 19-year-olds celebrate their pending graduation before and not after they’ve actually finished exams and 13 years of school That’s mostly a result of a political decision made by the Norwegian government in 1979 to schedule final exams for after May 17 in the hopes that would put a damper on the pre-17th of May partying Rogaland and Buskerud counties asked Education Minister Torbjørn Roe Isaksen last week to alter the school year for high school students so that final exams would swap places with the Easter-to-17th of May russ season They think the change should be made nationwide as well “Russ celebrations have escalated,” County Administrator Anette Solli in Akershus told newspaper Aftenposten “We must face the consequences of that somehow or other.” At least three russ at the prestigious Oslo Cathedral High School welcomed the proposal Lavrans Løvvik and Johannes Bergvoll all told Aftenposten it would be “an advantage” to take exams first and party afterwards “It is rather strange that we celebrate the end of school when we still have a lot of work ahead of us,” said Løvvik Mamy students were claiming on national radio Monday that they’ve enjoyed their russ season and aren’t ashamed of the especially negative publicity that’s emerged this year “I had looked forward to this for years and have had so much fun,” wrote one 19-year-old male russ in newspaper Aftenposten who didn’t want his name used “I’m sick of bad stereotypes attached to russ I think a large majority of russ are sensible young people Even my own mother has understood that russ season is completely crazy.” refrain from all the drinking and one group claimed they had just as much fun drinking Solo (a Norwegian orange soft drink) as beer While one 16-year-old claimed she looked forward to be russ she was “disgusted” by a russ “subculture” that has led to the sexual assaults She disagreed that wearing russ overalls “gives you permission to be an idiot.” Another 17-year-old wrote in Aftenposten that she doesn’t want to be russ “It makes me nervous to hear about all these things russ are doing,” she wrote “I just don’t want to be a part of it.” Bathing is a focus of public activity in the buffer zone at Ormsundkaia The Bekkelagsbadet park was created with input from the local community and attracts residents from all parts of the city Rationalizing port operations and effective use of space has created opportunities for urban development along the fjord Port of Oslo’s vision is to develop the world's most efficient and environmentally friendly urban port We collaborate with a broad variety of stakeholders to build a sustainable port and help make Oslo an attractive city Trade and activity in Oslo’s oldest port Bjørvika contributed to the city’s development and growth Oslo has been a busy port since the sailing ship era Oslo’s harbor has historically owned and managed the city’s waterfront property In the year 2000 City Council’s Fjordbyen (Fjord City) initiative led to the sale and development of urban port areas and the co-location of its cargo terminals to develop an efficient cargo port in Sydhavna Port of Oslo collaborates with stakeholders to develop Oslo’s Fjordbyen

separate port operations from adjoining urban areas These zones include Bekkelagsbadet in Ormsund and the buffer zone at the far end of Sjursøya A new buffer zone will be established on Grønlia across from Sørenga The parks are popular with the public and generate activity in and around the harbor Oslo will eliminate 95% of greenhouse gas emissions Port of Oslo will reduce emissions by 85% in the same period and become emissions-free over the long term The port and city collaborate to implement emissions-free solutions that help reduce emissions from the transport sector The municipal climate strategy and climate budget map the path toward an emissions-free city and port The port plays a vital role in providing environmentally friendly and efficient logistics solutions Port of Oslo’s most significant contribution to help the municipality achieve its climate goals is shifting transport of cargo from road to sea and Oslo’s business community is essential to making the harbor and city emissions-free Port of Oslo expects to achieve its emissions targets by 2030 The port has demonstrated its ability to restructure and adopt new The port provides shore power for all international ferries and is now exploring the use of shore power for cargo and cruise ships Port of Oslo launched the world's first electric workboat of its kind Pelikan 2 collects floating waste from Inner Oslo Fjord The Port of Oslo also uses drones to search for waste Port of Oslo works purposefully to limit noise from the port Input from the local community and dialogue with stakeholders is important and commercialization of new climate solutions and technology New technology and the municipality’s shared procurement strategy contribute to the development and acquisition of new logistics solutions Environmental goals: Sustainable urban port Goal 12: Increase zero-emission construction sites by 2025 Goal 13: Sort 90% of waste in Port of Oslo by 2025 Goal 15: Increase capacity to receive sewage from ships by 2030 Goal 12: Port of Oslo seeks zero-emissions construction sites but to date has received only fossil-free proposals Goal 13: 90% or more construction waste sorted less than 50% of waste sorted from cruise ships Goal 14: No expectation of eliminating noise-related complaints but every complaint will receive a response Goal 15: Between 2-3 thousand cubic meters of sewage handled increased volumes anticipated as a result of stricter requirements
