Laying up privately

Finally!!!!!!


We are pleased to inform you that as of 5 October 2011, the Directorate of Customs and Excise has amended the rules so that foreign boat owners can lay up their boats in private marinas for up to one year. Boat owners must apply to Norwegian Customs and Excise (Tollvesenet) for permission beforehand, and a special application form for boat storage has been made for this purpose.

Currently, this application form is only available in Norwegian, but it will be made available also in English.

For submitting an application and for more information about the new regulations, please contact the appropriate customs region directly.

Seilas rundt Nordpolen

Børge Ousland, Thorleif Thorleifsson

Med en trimaran mellom isfjellene
Pris: 399,-I salg fra 12. september 2011
Sankthansaften 2010 kastet Børge Ousland og Thorleif Thorleifsson anker ved Frammuseet i Oslo. Målet var å bli de første til å seile gjennom både Nordvestpassasjen og Nordøstpassasjen i løpet av én og samme sesong. Fire måneder senere er målet nådd. Deres lille trimaran hadde da overvunnet de isfylte arktiske farvann og begge passasjene rett før vinteren stengte alt! Med denne ekspedisjonen skrev Børge Ousland og hans ekspedisjonspartner et nytt kapittel i polarhistorien og påviste samtidig hvor lite havis det er i Arktis nå.
Forordet er skrevet av utenriksminister Jonas Gahr Støre.

Overwintering in Norway

The Norwegian Dept of Customs and Excise has recently published a suggestion for  new regulations regarding storing foreign yachts in Norway. The suggested changes to the law states that it will be allowed to store a foreign yacht anywhere in the country, also outside a bonded Custom storage. No VAT deposit will be required. You will need permission from Customs before placing the boat in storage, and a special application form will be made for this purpose. Further the suggested new law states that permission for VAT exemption can be granted for up to 12 months, with a further 12 months after application.

The suggested new text has is open for public comment until August 29 2011 (in Norwegian "høring" - a compulsory requirement where interested parties can voice their opinion before changes are implemented). From the published text it seems authorities plan to implement the new law this year, which may be important for some of you currently cruising Norway.
