Construction has kicked-off on a DK358m extension to the Danish port of Lindø.
Owner Port of Odense said the project will see an additional 500,000 square metres added with a new quay extending some 1000 metres.
Port of Odense said the work is being undertaken to position the facility as a key onshore base for handling “increasing demand” for offshore wind farm decommissioning projects in the North Sea.
The extension will be built in stages of sand, soil and gravel fill, and will take a number of years to complete.
Port chief executive Carsten Aa said: “Development at Lindø has been much faster than anticipated. Therefore we have speeded up our port extension to allow us, within a few years, to offer new facilities both to our old clients and to new ones.”
Existing clients at the facility include MHI Vestas and Bladt.
