Transition to IALA Standard
In the period 2019 to 2025, the Norwegian Coastal Administration will be reorganizing the sectors of around 1900 sector lights in compliance with the standard defined by IALA (International Association of Lighthouse Authorities).
The Oslofjord fairway project that was completed in 2017, is an example of how sectors will be organized in accordance with the new standard.
Planned measures
An overview of the measures that are ready to be implemented in line with the transition to the IALA standard for sector lights can be found here (text in Norwegian only).
The illustration below shows how the sector classification will be changed by the transition to the IALA standard. The map on the left-hand side shows before, while the map on the right-hand side shows sectors after the transition. Drag the vertical bar back and forth to see the changes.
