Kystverket and Rana kommune are delivering an integrated entrance, dredging and deep-water quay programme in Mo i Rana. The works combine Toranes and Langneset dredging, contaminated-sediment containment, a new approximately 150-metre public intermodal quay at 15 metres depth, backland and utilities, plus navigation-marker upgrades.

Project anatomy

Contract scope and delivery roles

Client / authority
Kystverket and Rana kommune as project owners; Mo i Rana Dypvannskai AS is identified as the post-completion asset owner and Rana Industriterminal AS as the future operator
Delivery parties
Vest Betong AS - main contractor under an NS 8405 unit-price contract, Gerd Stensen AS - dredging subcontractor explicitly identified by Kystverket, Keller AS - subcontractor whose equipment and recovery responsibility are identified in Kystverket's barge-incident record; no wider package is assigned without further evidence
Contract route
TED's contract-result notice names Kystverket as buyer, Vest Betong AS as winner and NOK 358,781,673 as the notice value. Vest Betong's project record describes an NS 8405 unit-price contract of NOK 350 million excluding VAT. These are retained as separate public value records rather than forced into one contract figure.
Execution window
Vest Betong gives a March 2024 to July 2026 construction window, while Kystverket records work starting in April 2024 and now plans completion in autumn 2026. Kystverket reported Toranes dredging and navigation work complete by March 2026, 156 steel-tube piles complete in 2025 and the quay in its finishing phase on 29 June 2026.
Works package
At Toranes, dredge the terminal area to owner-stated depths of 11 metres outside and 8 metres inside. At Langneset, dredge the berth and build a public deep-water quay approximately 150 metres long with 15 metres depth, a 5,400-square-metre deck, backland, quay equipment, cathodic protection, erosion protection, water, wastewater, fibre and power. Stabilise contaminated dredged sediment in a shoreline deposit that forms new land and install or renew navigation marks at Storgrunna and Bustnes.
Marine interfaces
The programme links two dredging areas, clean-material sea placement, contaminated-material shoreline containment, vertical drains and environmental monitoring with sheet piling, 156 Ø900 steel-tube piles, quay-deck concrete, backland and operating-port interfaces. Kystverket's latest record says more than 100,000 cubic metres had been dredged and approximately 10,000 square metres of new land created.
Commercial evidence boundary
The TED result value is NOK 358.781673 million. Kystverket and Vest Betong describe the main contract at approximately NOK 350 million excluding VAT. No accepted final account is public. Owner design quantities describe about 40,000 cubic metres at Toranes and 70,000 at Langneset; Vest Betong reports approximately 22,000 cubic metres contaminated and 90,000 cubic metres clean, while the latest owner update reports more than 100,000 cubic metres dredged. The records use different bases and remain separate.

Open this project in the Change Log

Kystverket placed the quay in its finishing phase

Concrete works were nearing completion and technical installations were scheduled through summer and autumn. The owner retained autumn 2026 completion and opening plans and named the future asset owner and operator, but did not report handover or operating acceptance.

Source

Dredging and piling moved the project into quay-deck construction

Kystverket reported about 70,000 cubic metres dredged at Langneset, all 156 piles completed in 2025, Toranes and navigation works complete and concrete deck works under way.

Source

Owner confirmed dredging completion and the downstream chain

Kystverket said the seasonal dredging campaign at Toranes and Langneset was complete, identified Gerd Stensen as Vest Betong's dredging subcontractor and tied Keller to equipment recovery after the barge incident. Final public hydrographic acceptance was not established.
