The reference routes for Navigation are recommendations from the Norwegian Coastal Administration (NCA) to support voyage planning based on our best practice. The routes are not binding and they shall not replace any required navigational aids or navigation duties, including the rules at sea (COLREG) and standards regarding voyage planning and watchkeeping. The routes shall not cause any change in responsibilities for the captain or officer in charge for safe navigation and maneuvrering of his vessel. The main category of reference routes are developed for a maximum ship dimension of 150m LOA and 9m draught or less. Some routes included are for ships of even smaller maximum dimensions due to local limitations. Other cateogries of routes can be included. When using reference routes for route planning please confer relevant regulations and navigational charts for actual maximum vessel dimensions of the specific route. The NCA will keep routes updated regularly. See more about use of the reference routes for navigation in NCA’s service ‘www.Routeinfo.no’.

Traffic accidents describe accidents involving vehicles the last 5 years, and where there are personal injuries or major material damages. Data are exctracted from National Road data base (NVDB).

Pipelines which belong to Transportation systems for petroleum on the Norwegian sector.

Elveg includes all roads that can be driven (more than 50 metres long), the footpath and cycleway network, address points, street names, speed limits, traffic control facilities and road restrictions. The deliverable is made up of centre line geometry for road networks (on a par with Vbase) and point geometry for addresses and restrictions. Divided into municipalities.

The Norwegian Public Road administration publishes the data used in our own routing planner, http://data.norge.no/data/api-ruteplantjeneste-bil. Formats are SpatialLite and ESRI geodatabase. Dataset are optimized for car routing (Route) and bike (Route_bike). Data will be updatet monthly, except in August and January.

The dataset contains airports and heliports. The data is based on N50 map data.

Representative information about traffic flow on Norwegian major roads (Europa, riks- and fylkesveger). Yearly averaged data, With Annual Average Daily Traffic Count, AADT, and the ratio of large vehicles.

The Norwegian Coastal Administration administers a system of facilities for navigation guidance in Norway. This system consists of facilities operated by the Norwegian Coastal Administration, facilities operated by municipal ports and private facilities operated by others. Navigation guidance devices provide visual and electronic signals that are designed to assist in the navigation process for careful seafarers. However, it is not the intention to make it possible for seafarers to identify any boat or shallow or obstacle to sea traffic that exists in Norwegian waters that are otherwise navigable by ships. On the other hand, the Norwegian Coastal Administration shall ensure reasonable marking of the waters to the extent that the resources allow.
