MT Højgaard Denmark has reached a critical milestone in the ongoing future-proofing initiative at the Port of Roenne. With this latest accomplishment, the port is well on its way to becoming a central hub for sustainable energy shipments in the Baltic Sea, supporting economic growth and security for Bornholm.
Expanding the Port of Roenne to Boost Baltic Sea Trade
100,000m² Project Area Supports Port Growth
The completion of the third phase of the project has expanded the port’s infrastructure by an impressive 100,000 square meters. This growth strengthens Roenne’s strategic position as the key point for wind turbine shipments and other cargo within the Baltic Sea, meeting the demands of both domestic and international industries.
Infrastructure Improvements Enhance Navigation and Security
Extended Outer Breakwater for Enhanced Protection
A major component of this phase included the extension of the outer breakwater, designed to protect the port from strong waves and harsh weather conditions. By reinforcing the port’s resilience, this upgrade enhances safety for vessels docking and navigating within Roenne’s waters.
Larger Turning Basin Facilitates Efficient Navigation
Another significant improvement in this phase was the expansion of the port’s turning basin, allowing larger vessels to maneuver more effectively. This update not only improves safety but also reduces waiting times for ships, ensuring smoother operations and faster turnaround.
New Multi-Functional Quay and Inner Harbour Dredging
Multi-Functional Quay Boosts Versatility
The addition of a new multi-functional quay opens up opportunities for the Port of Roenne to handle a diverse range of shipments, from wind turbine components to general cargo. This quay is designed to support current and future shipping needs, maximizing operational efficiency and flexibility.
Extensive Inner Harbour Dredging for Optimized Depth
Extensive dredging in the inner harbor area has deepened the port’s waterways, accommodating larger vessels and enabling the port to meet the growing demands of global shipping. This dredging effort supports the long-term viability of the port and prepares it to serve increasingly larger and more complex shipping operations.
Supporting Bornholm’s Supply Chain and Commercial Growth
Reinforcing Bornholm’s Supply Security
These developments are part of a larger initiative to enhance supply security for the island of Bornholm. By modernizing the Port of Roenne, the project ensures the continuous flow of goods and resources, crucial for the island’s residents and businesses.
Cementing the Port of Roenne as Bornholm’s Primary Commercial Hub
The future-proofing project is not just about expansion but about securing Roenne’s place as Bornholm’s primary commercial gateway. As the port upgrades continue, it solidifies Roenne’s role as a key asset in the region, supporting economic growth and sustainable energy shipments across the Baltic Sea.
