The number of passengers at the Port of Hirtshals increased in 2025. A total of 2,351,000 passengers traveled to or from the port during the year, which is more than 100,000 more than the previous year. The increase means that on average more than 6,400 passengers traveled daily via the port in 2025. At the same time, the number of passenger cars increased from 742,000 in 2024 to 764,000 in 2025. When it comes to heavy transport, the level is stable. In 2025, 128,000 trucks passed through the port, while 1,756,000 tons of goods were transported over the quay, the port informs.
- We proudly look back on another year with more passengers here at the Port of Hirtshals. Traffic in and out of the port is our basis for existence and at the same time a sign of how many of our customers are doing. The figures are therefore an expression of the ripple effects that make the Port of Hirtshals a central traffic hub between the Nordic region and the rest of Europe, says Per Anholm Nørgaard, CEO of the Port of Hirtshals.
The port is also continuing to work on plans to expand the Nordhavnen. The first stage includes, among other things, an extension of the outer western pier by around 350 meters and a change to the eastern pier head. The project is awaiting environmental approval before it can be put out to tender. If the schedule holds, the first stage of the expansion is expected to be completed in 2029. The expansion will, among other things, improve navigation conditions and provide space for new commercial areas as well as facilities for CO2 capture, use and storage (CCUS).
