A computer image by Nordfjord Vekst shows the so-called Stad Ship Tunnel, the “world’s first shipping tunnel” being planned on the Stad peninsula, on the west coast of Norway, to make shipping safer in a rough coastal area. Unveiling a 10-year plan, Norway said it would earmark $175m for the construction of the Stad maritime tunnel, named for the peninsula notorious for high winds and heavy seas.
