Port of Frederikshavn, Denmark

Port expansion to improve goods handling

The Port of Frederikshavn has launched a large-scale expansion project to develop business opportunities for the port and the many businesses in it. The expansion will improve goods handling and make room for larger ships and servicing of offshore installations in the North Sea.

The development plans for the port include five new zones to be built in several stages with outer moles, deeper water in the harbour basins and channels, and new quay and port areas where the seabed materials from dredging can be reused as filler.

There will also be a completely new 275,000 m² port area for decommissioning offshore installations and ships, including slipways and facilities to move offshore installations ashore.

COWI contributes with its great international experience in planning and project design of ports and marine structures.
