APM Terminals has extended the container terminal concession at the Danish Port of Kalundborg by ten years to 2033.
A rapidly expanding alternative to the Port of Copenhagen is located next to the deepsea route in the Great Belt, linking the Baltic Sea and the North Sea. The terminals unit of A.P. Moller-Maersk began operations in Kalundborg in March 2021 receiving its first vessel call. The terminal’s 50,000 sq m area located in Ny Vesthavn has access to one of the largest areas in Denmark while offering approximately 12-hour shorter steam times by sea.
APM Terminals said it plans to ramp up its presence in the area by assuming responsibility of all facility crane operations. The company will also introduce food and veterinary control as new customer services following investments made by the Kalundborg port earlier this year.
“We will continue to invest to leverage our global capabilities locally in Kalundborg. With Kalundborg, we see an opportunity to provide customers with an exceptional service and an efficient, greener, and competitive product in a strong location, which is well connected, accessible, and closer to industry and customers of the port,” said Mikael Gutman, managing director Nordic, APM Terminals.
