Location

Fensfjorden

Fensfjorden is a fjord in Vestland county, Norway. The 30-kilometre long fjord begins in the North Sea at Holmengrå Lighthouse and flows to the southeast through the municipalities of Austrheim, Gulen, Alver, and Masfjorden. The fjord ends on the Masfjorden-Alver border where it splits into two fjords: Masfjorden and Austfjorden. The fjord is generally about 3 to 5 kilometres wide. There is only one crossing: a car ferry from Sløvåg in Gulen Municipality to Mongstad in Alver Municipality. The islands of Byrknesøyna, Mjømna, and Sandøyna lie on the northern side of the fjord. The south side of the fjord includes the island of Fosøyna and the Lindås peninsula lie on the south side of the fjord. There is a lot of ship traffic in the outer part of the Fensfjorden due to the large oil refinery and industrial area at Mongstad on the northern end of the Lindås peninsula. Mongstad is Norway's largest port based on tonnage, and Northern Europe's largest oil port. Roughly 2000 ships port at Mongstad in the Fensfjorden annually.
