Noise and exhaust from boat at Marineholmen

Hi all,

UiB has leased berths to Boston and the boat “Ren havn”, a company that has been hired by Bergen municipality to work on the remedial work with Store Lungegårdsvannet.

The original rental period and planned work is in the period from October to spring 2024. Since they started the work this week, I have received many complaints from colleagues at BIO about both noise and exhaust. Several HSE deviations have also been logged.
