Risavika Harbour's history now available as a book!

"Fra sjø er du kommet - til havn er du blitt" (From Sea to Harbour) is the name of the book about Risavika Harbour's history and development. The book is the fruit of a collaboration between Risavika Eiendom, Risavika Havn AS and Stavangerregionen Havn IKS and has been written by the Norwegian author Engwall Pahr-Iversen.

Pahr-Iversen, whose former professional roles include editor of newspapers Vestfold Arbeiderblad and Rogalands Avis, and much loved television host at NRK Rogaland, has taken a deep plunge into Risavika's history. In the book he presents a generous selection of stories from and about Risavika, all with his trademark charm.

The book takes the reader on a journey from the Viking Age to present day, demonstrating Risavika's position as a natural connection hub for the rest of Norway and the outside world, as well as examining the harbour's position from an international perspective. The reader learns about  lobster fishing, the Second World War, the refinery construction, modern harbour expansion and much, much more. Overall, the book provides a charming exposé on the Risavika area's history and a unique insight into the creation of Risavika Harbour, Norway's most future-oriented harbour.
