Import and export of maritime cultural heritage
Importing and exporting cultural remains is regulated by the Cultural Heritage Act. Anyone wishing to export a vessel, part of a vessel or any other maritime cultural object older than fifty years must have an export licence. The Directorate for Cultural Heritage is the decision-making institution for export of whole vessels or large parts of vessels (e.g. a deckhouse), while the NMM is the decision-making institution for export of any other maritime objects and loose parts of vessels.
More information on import/export of cultural heritage and the relevant application forms are available from Arts Council Norway (scroll down to find information in English).
Please send inquiries about exporting maritime cultural objects to fellespost@marmuseum.no
