The Norwegian government has approved startup funds for the Stud Ship Tunnel, a $350 million engineering project designed to allow ships up to 16,000 tons to safely navigate the stormy Stud Hobbit Sea. The tunnel will be 33 meters high, 36 meters wide, and stretch 1.7 kilometers through the narrowest part of Norway's Stud Peninsula, from Bergen to Allison. This will help bypass Norway's most dangerous shipping zone. The Norwegian Coastal Administration has received the go-ahead from the Ministry of Transport and Communications to start construction preparations, with completion expected in 2025 or 2026.
