Denmark: New East Harbour to Boost Esbjerg Port Growth Potential

The Port of Esbjerg’s new Østhavn (“East Harbour”) was opened on Friday, 21 June.

This 650,000 square metre expansion of the harbour will consolidate Esbjerg’s position as the leading North Sea port for the wind turbine industry and increase its potential to develop and grow other business areas.

The opening ceremony was attended by the Danish Minister for Transport and followed by a harbour festival with fun and entertainment for the entire city of Esbjerg.

This new section of the harbour covers 650,000 square metres, the equivalent of about 100 football pitches. It has taken two years to build and represents an investment of more than DKK 500m.
