The Norwegian Coast Guard carries out missions on behalf of a number of Norwegian agencies, operations regulated by several different Norwegian laws.
Norway has chosen a cost effective option where the Coast Guard has a vital role in maritime law enforcement. The main legal foundation is found in the Coast Guard Act. The primary mission is to maintain Norwegian sovereignty and sovereign rights and enforce applicable laws in accordance with the Coast Guard Act, in order to secure Norway`s interests and obligations as a costal state.
