Copenhagen to receive a new container terminal in 2023
By & Havn and Copenhagen Malmö Port (CMP) have reached an agreement on the basic principles for a new container terminal in Ydre Nordhavn.
The location of the new container terminal means that goods to the Capital Region of Denmark can continue to be delivered close to the customers, sparing the environment from added emissions and minimising congestion on the Danish road network.
The existing container terminal at Levantkaj in Copenhagen’s Nordhavn remains in full swing, and within the coming years it will be moved to Ydre Nordhavn with new, modern facilities with the possibility of expansion.
The expansion will take place in pace with the freight volumes increasing and new logistics enterprises, such as a distribution centre, commencing operations.
Today, Danish ports handle a bit over 75 percent of the imported goods to Denmark, and the Corona pandemic has made it clear how important it is to maintain global supply chains and ensure that goods can continue to be delivered across borders.
Therefore, a well-functioning container terminal close to Copenhagen is vital infrastructure and at the same time, an essential and sustainable supply artery for the Capital Region and the rest of Eastern Denmark.
The location will mean less congestion on the roads as well as a greener Denmark.
