This report contains a catalogue of Norwegian coastal quarries presently in production and sxporting, as well as of potential production areas along the coast of South-Central Norway and Finnmark.. In 2014, 21.8 million tonnes of aggregates were exported to Europe, and about 3.3 million tonnes were used by the offshore oil and gas industry on the continental shelf.
