Major expansion of the Port of Hanstholm planned
Grontmij | Carl Bro in Denmark has signed a major contract with the Port of Hanstholm for a major expansion of the port.
The Port of Hanstholm wishes to expand its position as the leading fishing port in Denmark and as a cargo hub for north-west Denmark. In addition the Port of Hanstholm will become a ferry port with connections to the Faroe Islands, Iceland, Norway and Scotland.
Grontmij | Carl Bro will optimise the port layout, including studies of navigation, sedimentation and wave disturbance in and around the port. Grontmij | Carl Bro will also conduct an Environmental Impact Assessment to assess direct and indirect environmental effects of the project. This will include bird migration studies, numerical modelling of sediment transport, waves and coastal morphology, and visual impacts on sea scape and landscape.
The project is due to be completed later this year.
