    Nesseby Rådhus, 9840 Varangerbotn Mob: 90110562 E-post: [email protected] Hasvik Rådhus 9593 Breivikbotn Mob: 90852916 E-post: [email protected] Til: Samferdselsminister Knut Arild Hareide UTTALELSE: Hurtigruta og reduksjon i seilingsfrekvens. Øst-Finnmarkrådet og Vest-Finnmark Rådet er to politiske samarbeidsorganer, som til sammen organiserer alle de 16 kystkommunene i Finnmark. Finnmark er en region med lange avstander, der man er avhengig av sjøtransporten som en viktig del av logistikk- og beredskapskjeden. Her utgjør normalt Hurtigruten en av de viktigste bærebjelkene. Hurtigruten har vært lojal mot kysten siden oppstarten i 1893, og har overlevd både krig og opp/ned konjunkturer. Men nå i 2020 er vel Hurtigruten inne i en av sine vanskeligste perioder. Det skyldes i all hovedsak Covid 19 pandemien som rammer hele samfunnets. Men vi registrerer også at Hurtigruten de siste årene har endret fokus fra kystens lokale behov til mer å fremstå som et cruise og ekspedisjons rederi. I dagens hurtigruteavtale står det: «Formålet med statens kjøp av transporttjenester langs norskekysten er å sikre et godt rutetilbud for passasjerer som reiser lokalt, regionalt og mellom angitte anløpssteder. Dette er reisende som kun kjøper billett for å reise på selvvalgt strekning og ikke rundreiser, såkalte distansereisende. I tillegg skal det tilbys godskapasitet nord for Tromsø. I dag har Samferdselsdepartementet en avtale med Hurtigruten AS om helårlige, daglige og gjennomgående seilinger med anløp i 34 havner på nord- og 33 på sørgående rute mellom Bergen og Kirkenes. Det statlige kapasitetskravet er fastsatt til 320 passasjerplasser, 120 køyplasser i lugar, og minimum 150 europaller for frakt av gods pr.

Prosjektet tar utgangspunkt i fremkomne argumenter om at disse bedriftene nå har en inntjening som umuliggjør fortsatt drift, noe som igjen vil begrense Hurtigrutens anløpsmønster og den økonomiske utviklingen i kystsamfunnene i Finnmark. Prosjektet ble i hovedsak gjennomført i løpet av januar og februar 2007, og har bestått i å analysere transportstatistikk samt å gjennomføre et stort antall intervjuer/samtaler med berørte aktører innenfor sjø- og vegtransport, næringsliv, havnevesen og andre offentlige etater.

  • Northbound Voyage Itinerary Day 1
    NORTHBOUND VOYAGE ITINERARY DAY 1 Embarkation in Bergen Ports visited today: Bergen Explore the charming port and Hanseatic city of Bergen. Stroll through the narrow streets of the medieval Hanseatic Bryggen quarter, which is on UNESCO’s list of World Heritage Sites, the Hanseatic Museum or the fish market. Take the funicular railway up to the 1050ft Mount Fløyen, just outside the city, and you’ll enjoy the best view of Bergen and its fjords. In the evening the Hurtigruten voyage sets off through the Hjeltefjord, from where the Vikings once sailed to the Shetland Islands and beyond. DAY 2 Ålesund and Geirangerfjord/ Hjørundfjord Ports visited today: Florø, Måløy, Torvik, Ålesund and Molde Your ship navigates past skerries and islands further north to Ålesund. Explore the inspiring architecture in the Apotekergata and Kongensgate pedestrian areas, perfect examples of the art nouveau style. And don’t miss out on the view from Mt Aksla ‐ there are 418 steps to the top. In the summer months your Hurtigruten ship sails into the spectacular Geirangerfjord ‐ acclaimed by National Geographic and placed on UNESCO’s list of World Heritage Sites. En route we pass sheer, 2600ft high cliffs and impressive waterfalls. In autumn your ship sails into the Hjørundfjord. DAY 3 The royal city of Trondheim Ports visited today: Kristiansund, Trondheim and Rørvik In the old royal city of Trondheim you can enjoy a good view from the Gamle Bybrua (“Old Town Bridge”). This neo‐gothic wooden bridge dating from 1861 used to be the only way into the town center. The Nidaros Cathedral, built in the period 1070 to 1300, is Norway’s largest Gothic religious edifice.

Hurtigruten er generelt positivt innstilt til alle tiltak som kan medføre en bedring i sjøsikkerheten og forbedret navigasjon langs norskekysten, det være seg merking, etablering av moloer og utdypinger. Selskapet ser seg likevel nødt til å påpeke at tiltak som i utgangspunktet bedrer den generelle sikkerheten, kan ha en negativ effekt i spesifikke tilfeller. Hurtigruten har på ulike tidspunkter vært orientert om prosjektet, og gitt sine innspill i forkant av oppstart. Selskapet har vært tydelig på at moloen ikke vil bidra positivt til å lette innseiling eller avgang for Hurtigrutens skip. Moloen vil etter Hurtigrutens oppfatning skape ytterligere utfordringer i en allerede driftsmessig utfordrende havn. Dette har også Kystverket lagt til grunn i sine kost/nytte- vurderinger. Vi viser blant annet til «Kvalitativ risikoanalyse Mehamn» utført av Safetec på vegne av Kystverket hvor det konstateres; «Hurtigruten er en av aktørene som anløper Mehamn. For Hurtigruten er det en utfordring å legge til ved kaien (med hekken) nord i Mehamn i nordlig/nordvestlig vær. Etablering av molo på Hamnneset vil medføre at Hurtigruten må utføre en større kursendring rundt moloen for å komme til kaien.
