Research and development

The Norwegian Coastal Administration's work on research and development is often related to combating acute pollution, preventive maritime safety and coastal management.

Project goals are based on real user needs. We look at the development of methods, technology and services that improve the Norwegian Coastal Administration's services and capacity. We also initiate and finance important R&D activities, both internally (through self-financing) and externally.

The Norwegian Coastal Administration participates in various technology development programmes, and we make facilities and knowledge available to actors who need testing and analysis of their development work.
