Vippetangen

Vippetangen is the southern tip of the Akersnes peninsula in central Oslo, Norway, located southeast of Akershus Fortress and bounded on three sides by the Oslofjord.

For more than 60 years grain was transported by tram via the Vippetangen Line to Nedre Foss Mill at Grünerløkka.

Vippetangen has always been an important transport hub, and remains the main port for passenger ferries in Oslo.

This includes the Copenhagen ferry route operated by Stena Line and DFDS, and the water bus routes operated by Ruter to the Oslo Islands[3]—these will remain after the development of the Fjord City as one of two ferry terminals in Oslo.

[4] As part of the Fjord City project Ruter is planning to build a new tram line to Vippetangen, following the peninsula around from Aker Brygge to Bjørvika.
