Narvik - Ore Terminal

Narvik is divided in two by the extensive installations, modernized and extended in 1977, of the ore terminal. The ore brought from Sweden by rail is carried by long conveyors to various stores and to the Malmkaier (Malm Quays). The port can now handle ore-carriers of up to 350,000 tons, and has a total handling capacity of some 30 million tons a year. To the south of the port, adjoining the loading installations, is a small park with an attractive sculpture of a group of children.
