AARHUS: On Wednesday, work began on placing the first steel plates for the 430-meter-long quay at the Omniterminal in Aarhus. MT Højgaard Danmark is responsible for the establishment, which marks the end of a project that has been underway for many years.
Thomas Haber Borch, CEO of the Port of Aarhus, describes it as "a milestone" that the final stage of construction has now begun:
- The quay facility is quite naturally a crucial element in securing another attractive terminal area at the port, which I am of course pleased that we have already leased out. With the plans for a new container terminal, we are providing space for more opportunities for the business community, strengthening security of supply and, not least, creating jobs for the benefit of Aarhus and all of Denmark, he says.
The new quay is designed to reduce concrete consumption without compromising robustness. This also means that the construction's CO2 emissions will be lower than with traditional quay construction.
The quay is being built ready for shore power plants for container ships, just as shore power plants are on the way at the existing terminal.
The 430-meter-long quay with a water depth of 14 meters is expected to be completed by the end of 2026.
