The installation of the 18-kilometre tunnel between Rødbyhavn in Denmark and Puttgarden on the German island of Fehmarn is now in progress. On the Danish side, the main construction phase is proceeding with preparation of the seabed and tunnel ramps. In the meantime, a work harbour is being built wherefrom casting of tunnel elements will take place and construction materials will be shipped in.
The project has been relevant for Blue Water for 10 years, so they are looking forward to getting on with business. The delay is caused by objections from both German and Danish side, which have put the project on hold several times, because the objections had to be legally processed in both countries.
Warehousing and logistics solutions
Blue Water is locally present, and with the knowledge of the area and a solid network, they offer port services to suppliers and partners of the project. Among other things, they can deliver solutions within port agency, crew change, stevedoring, transport and logistics solutions.
