The contractor MT Højgaard Danmark has completed and delivered the third phase of future-proofing Port of Roenne. With an expanded project area of 100,000 m², this phase contributes to strengthening the harbour’s unique position in the Baltic Sea as the central hub for wind turbine shipments.

The third phase is closely aligned with an overall climate and futureproofing initiative for the island’s main commercial harbour. This includes extending the outer breakwater and improving navigation with a larger turning basin. Additionally, the future-proofing project features a new multi-functional quay and extensive dredging in the inner harbour area. Together, these efforts support the overall supply security for Bornholm and bolster the harbour's role as the island's primary commercial harbour.

“With the completion of phase 3, we have taken an important step in strengthening Bornholm’s supply infrastructure, while also ensuring we can continue to grow offshore wind shipments from Bornholm, now capable of handling two concurrent projects. It’s a significant day for both Bornholm and Rønne Harbour,” says Lars Nordahl, CEO of Port of Roenne A/S.

MT Højgaard completed phase 3 precisely on schedule.

“When we signed the contract for phase 3, we knew we would be under significant time pressure. This was indeed the case throughout the project. However, thanks to an excellent collaboration between Rønne Harbour, their consultant NIRAS, our consultant Rambøll, and a skilled and dedicated project team at MT Højgaard Danmark, we succeeded in delivering a remarkable result on time. We can all be proud of this accomplishment,” says Dan Harborg Locht, Project Director at MT Højgaard Danmark.

The future-proofing initiative has also benefited local businesses. MT Højgaard has spent nearly DKK 60 million locally on Bornholm, engaging local subcontractors and employing local labor.
