Optimal location of a quay in Sunnfjord and Ytre Sogn

Authors: Rolv Lea
Report nr: 1100/1998
Language: Norwegian

The purpose of this analysis has been to determine the optimal location of a timber quay in Sunnfjord, on the basis of transported quantities, transport-, environmental- and accident costs, calculated for each year 1991, 2010 and 2025 respectively. The analysis shows that due to larger (forecasted) growth in timber felling in the north-easterly regions of Sunnfjord, the optimal location of a quay lies further to the north the closer the year 2025 we get, at which time felling is expected to level out. However, the alternative locations which are compared in the analysis are almost equal with regard to socio-economic costs.
