Esbjerg Port's director Dennis Jul Pedersen was, of course, a guest when the port workers' club celebrated its 80th anniversary on Saturday. If you ask the port director what the club of dock workers means to the port, the answer comes immediately.
- The unloading club means above all efficiency here at the port. They are highly specialized loose workers who can do everything from running the mills to driving containers RoRo, Dennis Jul Pedersen tells us about the so-called roll on – roll off of containers.
And the harbor workers have even started to do more with wind than moving the turbine parts.
- The dock workers will assemble the turbines. The first ones are already underway on the site, and several are on course. This shows the necessity of upgrading qualifications, explains Dennis Jul Pedersen about new tasks within the green transition, which are handled by the dock workers.
We celebrate the collaboration
The celebration of the harbor workers' club is both for the harbor workers and the companies' managers and owners, because there are several people involved in the success story of Esbjerg Harbor as the world's largest port for shipping wind turbines.
- It is actually the collaboration that we are celebrating here today. Here, the person who drives the tractor at the port can meet the owner of the company, tell the port director and expand on the skills of the port workers:
- These are some specialists who do not have a permanent employment relationship.
Efficiency and speed are part of the package.
- Especially on RoRo and wind, they can do some of the fastest and most efficient work in all of Europe. It also shows when installation ships have to be loaded into the wind, says Dennis Jul Pedersen.
