According to the consultation memo, the changes were originally intended to enter into force on 1 January 2026.

Multiple consultation statements have been received from the affected parties. The Norwegian Offshore Directorate has identified a need for more time to review these consultation statements, and will therefore postpone when the regulatory changes enter into force.

The new date of stipulation and entry into force will be announced at a later time.

We would like to thank everyone who contributed a consultation statement.
