Our dialogue with ports clearly shows that access to capital is a decisive factor for success in achieving the green and digital transition.
We have taken this seriously. Seacap has therefore expanded its financing solutions to cover the full range of green port infrastructure – from energy hubs and logistics facilities to emergency berths and zero-emission solutions. The goal is to support ports in building sustainable, competitive and future-oriented facilities.
“Norwegian ports face significant upgrade requirements in areas such as supply security, emergency preparedness, digitalisation and logistics – but unfortunately lack sufficient government funding,” says Ingvar M. Mathisen, Chair of the board of the industry and member organisation Norske Havner (Norwegian Ports).
As Mathisen points out, Norwegian ports receive very limited government funding.
DNV’s recent report, Drivers and Measures for a Robust Norwegian Port Sector (2025), highlights this challenge, pointing out that ports lack the capital, coordination and policy instruments required to meet demands for:
- The green transition
- Supply security and emergency preparedness
- Digitalisation and efficient logistics
- New international standards (e.g. TEN-T, FuelEU Maritime)
Seacap helps to close this gap. As a specialised capital partner, we finance the essential infrastructure that enables this transition. We convert large capital investments (CAPEX) into predictable operating costs (OPEX), giving ports the flexibility to continue developing – on their own terms and with local control.
During 2025, Seacap has strengthened its international presence with offices in the United Kingdom, Denmark and Sweden – allowing us to support our clients locally. Several further European expansions are planned for 2026.
Norwegian and international ports are facing major opportunities. For many, the key now is to find the right partners to make that development possible.
