Location of Sandefjordsfjord, Norway

The Sandefjordsfjord (Sandefjordsfjorden) is an approximately 9 km long fjord in the municipality of Sandefjord in Vestfold, Norway. It is located to the west of Vesterøya. The Sandefjordsfjord is the longest of the four fjords located in Sandefjord, Norway. It is a wide fjord which gradually shrinks northbound towards the city harbor. The name dates to Sverris saga from 1200 A.D. The fjord was formerly simply known as Sandefjord, but the name Sandefjordsfjord has been used since 1875. The name Sandarfjorden was suggested during the Sandar-Sandefjord merge in the 1960s, but its current name was ultimately kept.[1]
