After the cancellation of the Nord-Norgebanen train project, companies in the north state the need to invest in sea transport and existing railways that ensure value creation in the region. The major railway project in Northern Norway should be the upgrading of the existing lines – Ofotbanen and Nordlandsbanen. The line is important for the Nordic region as a freight corridor, and the geopolitical situation means that it is becoming increasingly important for defence, security and preparedness. The other transport needs in the north can be met with climate-friendly and environmentally friendly sea transport, which in the future will use battery-powered autonomous ships or hybrid solutions.
