Manger is a small coastal village in the Alver municipality, located in the Vestland county of Norway. While it isn’t known for being a major marine port, it does have facilities typical of smaller community ports characterized by charming, picturesque settings and essential services catering to local and occasional maritime traffic. Below are some general attributes and specifications that could describe such a marine area:

Geographic Location

  • Coordinates: Approximately at 60°38′N 5°00′E
  • Accessibility: Located on the island of Radøy, which is connected by bridges and ferry services to the mainland and other nearby islands.
  • Proximity to Major Cities: It is located roughly 50 kilometers northwest of Bergen, the second-largest city in Norway.

Port Facilities

  • Marina: Manger likely has a small marina suitable for local fishing boats, recreational craft, and possibly tour boats.
  • Docking: Limited dock space typically for small to medium-sized vessels, with mooring options available.
  • Maintenance Services: Basic boat repair and maintenance facilities might be present, supported primarily by local businesses.

Infrastructure

  • Transportation Links: Road connections to other parts of the island and ferry connections to the mainland.

  • Recreational Boating: Popular with leisure boaters, especially during the summer months.

Environmental and Regulatory Considerations

  • Navigation Aids: Basic navigation aids, such as beacons and marked channels, to assist vessels in safely maneuvering in and out of the port area.

Economic Significance

  • Economic Role: Likely plays a modest role in the local economy, supporting local businesses such as fishing, tourism, and small-scale trade.

Notes on Development

  • Future Prospects: Development tends to be in sync with community needs and environmental sustainability, avoiding large-scale industrial expansion typical of larger commercial ports.
