Today, the port manager, Jørn-Even Hanssen, has ordered garbage dumped on the snow and ice tracks that formed on the square in front of the swing gate of the port terminal.
Snow drawn
This is the first winter snowmobile plant on both squares and the port terminal dock is in operation. The snowfall and cold levels of recent days have put the plant to the test.
– The heating system is tested to determine the amount of pressure we need to wear for snow and ice to melt. The snow has been reduced right here in front of the entrance and we are struggling now. It will take longer to thaw the ice-free snow, "Hanssen said.
Monthly expenditure in millions

The heating system ensuring that passengers on motorboats, expressways and buses must be safe from and to the port terminal is not cheap in operation. As a result, the port of Tromsø strives to find the right strength for the plant to be clear of all ice and snow, without "joking for crows".
– We make a continuous experience with the installation. If we were to exert total pressure on the entire factory, it would cost us $ 1.2 million a month, given current electricity prices. As a result, we are executing and adjusting the plant these days. We need to find the optimal balance, but it may take a little while to get experience figures, "said the port director, adding that the square in front of the main entrance was the last one made. We therefore could not begin to adapt sooner.
The place soon over
The foundation of the large square in front of the main entrance to the north is in the final phase after the stones at the last square meter in a corner had to be sent to Fauske to be shared.
"The problem was that the rocks were too thick for the heat loop that was sitting there and the stones were jumping over the others, so they had to be sent to Fauske where every stone is divided into a row. Workers continue to put the stones in. Work will be completed by the end of November, said Jørn-Even Hanssen, port manager.
