on islands protected by the belt of rocks and small islands, the
skjærgaard, which, with few interruptions, encircles the whole
Norwegian coast up to the North Cape.
In the towns, as well as in different places in the country
districts, more or less important harbour-works have been made
at the public or municipal expense, and the cost of maintaining,
extending and administering these works amounts to about
two million kroner per annum. Of this amount the Treasury
pays about kr. 400,000 directly, and a somewhat less amount is
paid by the Harbour Fund, established by the government and
formed and maintained by an export tax imposed upon fishery
products, while the municipal harbour funds contribute about 1.5
million kroner (1895). These last-mentioned funds are chiefly
made up of harbour dues, a percentage of the import duties, etc.
The total amount paid by the Treasury and by the said
Harbour Pund for harbour works during the years 1862—1899, is
12 million kroner, of which more than 2 millions were for the
harbour of Vardø on the Arctic Ocean.
