Port of Grenaa wants to be involved when wind turbines are recycled

Grenaa and the Port of Grenaa could become one of several hotspots for reusing, recycling and upcycling wind turbines when existing wind turbines are dismantled and removed from their original location. This is clear after the Port of Grenaa has been involved in a four-year development collaboration with other European knowledge-intensive partners, including several universities, who all see a future [...]

EU support for Danish port

Port of Odense is the only port among Danish recipients of EU funding With support from the EU, the Port of Odense will have half of its costs of approximately DKK 30 million covered in preparation for the deepening of the shipping channel and reinforced quay facilities to make the port even more suitable as a wind port. The funds come from the EU's Connecting Europe Facility infrastructure fund, and Denmark [...]

Danish Ports: Perfect ambitions for offshore wind, but drop the rule-mongering

The industry organization Danish Ports is excited about the government's new plans to accelerate the construction of Danish offshore wind farms. But reminds that it requires a cleanup of timeframes and regulations to succeed - a task force could be the solution "We are always excited about the government's high level of ambition when it comes to the green transition," says [...]

Danish Ports: Plenty of space for sun and wind in our ports

Allow solar cells in port basins and the installation of more onshore wind turbines in port areas, and you'll just have to pace yourself, promises an industry organization. "Fortunately, there is plenty of room for onshore wind turbines at several Danish ports. There, the turbines usually generate no or very few citizens, and they can be built at the speed that both the situation calls for and that [...]

Ports and offshore wind turbines are successful green partners

The Kriegers Flak offshore wind farm, inaugurated on Monday, September 6, is the latest symbol of the successful connection between Danish ports and the growing number of offshore wind turbines. "Kriegers Flak, with its 72 large offshore wind turbines, is the latest illustration of the natural connection that has long existed and has only grown and grown between the Danish ports [...]

Port of Thorsminde and Thor Offshore Wind Farm have potential for NorSea

When Denmark's largest offshore wind farm Thor starts delivering green wind energy in 2024, NorSea will be in place as base operator for the project. This strengthens the Port of Thorsminde in its development towards an offshore service port. "With NorSea, we get a lot of competencies and new supply chains at the Port of Thorsminde. It's a huge gain that they cover so many [...]

Port of Aarhus: No to wind turbines along Østhavnsvej

Aarhus Vindmøllelaug I/S is currently trying to get companies and private citizens to invest in a wind turbine project that does not exist and has not been approved, but has been rejected outright by the Port of Aarhus, which owns the area. The Port of Aarhus distances itself from the project and points out that the private law prerequisites for the project's implementation are not present. Aarhus Vindmøllelaug [...]

The coast is ready for a new heliport in Thorsminde

Holstebro Municipality has worked intensively for a heliport in Thorsminde, which aims to become a service port for the future Thor Offshore Wind Farm. Now the green light has been given for Thor's heliport. Today, offshore wind turbines are serviced both from the water and from the air. A heliport, or landing site for helicopters, is therefore a central function at the future service port. [...]

Central Jutland's climate offensive: Kattegat good bet for next offshore wind farm

The Danish Parliament has just started negotiations on the expansion of offshore wind capacity in Denmark. Right now, attention is focused on the government's proposal to establish two large energy islands with associated offshore wind in the North Sea and the Baltic Sea near Bornholm. But there are good reasons to also focus on the Kattegat, says Mayor Jan Petersen [...]

Danish commercial ports are ready to deliver on the government's ambitions for two new energy islands.

The government's proposal to establish two energy islands has the Danish Ports Association, the trade organization for Danish commercial ports, excited. The proposal will create increased activity in Danish ports in the future when the islands are established and maintained. But at the same time, the proposal also requires improved infrastructure to and at the ports, so that the ports that will service the energy islands have the necessary infrastructure available. Director of Danish Ports [...]
