At Blue Water, they have been preparing for the transition from Aalborg to Aarhus for a long time.
With their own terminals of more than 40,000 sq metres in Port of Aarhus, they are ready to continue the high-quality packing and handling of cargo to and from Greenland. In this way, the change will not affect the level of service for their customers.
Receiving and handling cargo
Blue Water is upgrading 6,000 sq metres terminal in Aarhus, making the facilities more efficient for receiving and handling cargo.
Originally expecting that Royal Arctic Line would not change to Aarhus until 1 January 2023
“Originally expecting that Royal Arctic Line would not change to Aarhus until 1 January 2023, the modernisation plans were expected to be completed during third quarter of 2022. That continues to be our ambition, and we expect to be finished by the autumn of 2022,” says Kenneth S. Pedersen, the Head of Operations - North Atlantic, Blue Water.
Delivering general cargo
This means that customers still can deliver general cargo and flatrack cargo in Aalborg – also after 1 July 2022. From here, Blue Water will pack and transport the cargo by road or rail to Aarhus. They will inform users well in advance about the transfer date for delivery to Aarhus.
Customers in Northern Jutland who want to continue to deliver to Blue Water Aalborg will from October 2022 be offered fixed line haul from Aalborg to Aarhus.
