According to NRK, neither party will openly confirm the agreement, but NRK knows much of its content. SV and MDG have received significant concessions in exchange for supporting the ferry gathering at Kongshavn. Key concessions include that 20 percent of all future homes at Filipstad, Hjortnes, and Grønlikaia will be kept outside the commercial market.
These non-commercial homes may include student housing, municipal housing, or home purchase models such as shared ownership and rent-to-own. Additionally, a new heated sea bath will be built at Sukkerbiten and a sea bath at Vippetangen. Nature will be restored both under and above water in several harbor areas, and new parks will be created.
The possibilities for large cruise ships to call at Oslo will be limited in the future. The four parties plan to present the agreement at a press conference on Wednesday morning. The question of where the Kiel ferry and the Danish boat should dock has been discussed for decades.
Solving the ferry issue is seen as necessary to complete the Fjord City project. Currently, Oslo has two harbors: the Danish boat sails from Vippetangen, and Color Line's terminal for the Kiel ferry is at Hjortnes. At Filipstad, Oslo plans a new district with homes, offices, and a fjord park.
The sale of Hjortnes is expected to give billions to the harbor fund. Most agree that a divided solution occupies too much valuable space along the fjord. In 2023, the red-green city council concluded that a joint terminal should be built at Vippetangen.
The main argument for Vippetangen was that Kongshavn must be kept as a pure cargo port. The Høyre and Venstre city council strongly disagreed and proposed Kongshavn instead. For over a year, it has been unclear how the city council would get a majority for Kongshavn.
On Monday, the Progress Party made it clear that they would not support Kongshavn. Thus, the city council parties had to lure one or more parties from the red-green side to their side.
