Port of Aalborg – Denmark

Port of Aalborg is Denmark’s largest inland port with a 360-degree hinterland, intermodal logistics solutions by ship, rail and road, and a focus on supporting sustainable business development. This means that we work within three primary business areas:

• Business Park: An Industrial business park focused on making attractive settings for existing and new companies to locate in the port area. This, by providing our customers with solutions and opportunities to develop their core business operations, growth and green transition. Our objective to create 5,000new jobs in the Aalborg area.
• Cargo & logistics: Hub for specialised cargo handling and tailored logistics solutions via ship, rail and road. Our objective is to create ideal solutions for North Jutland companies and growth in the overall business community.
• Green transition: Leader in sustainable business development throughout the value chain by development and implementation of new solutions and forms of collaboration. Our objective is to reduce our own CO2 emissions by 70% by 2023.

The Port of Aalborg Group comprises 7 subsidiaries and approx. 100 employees.

Port of Aalborg joined EFIP in 2018, because we, in practise, operate as an inland port, despite officially being a seaport. Danish authorities do not legally recognise Aalborg of Port and Denmark's inland waterways within the framework of the Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T). Nevertheless, it has been a privilege for the Port of Aalborg to meet with colleagues from other European inland ports in EFIP. It has been rewarding to share experiences and learn best practices from similar ports, and we highly appreciate the strong network within EFIP. The secretariat is highly professional, and we have received valuable support from the EFIP director Turi Fiorito in our attempt to obtain official recognition as an inland port in the latest TEN-T revision.

For the future, the Port of Aalborg is looking to focus on four priorities:

Increasing focus on intermodal green logistics combining sea, rail, and road, as this will be key to reaching carbon emission reduction targets for the transport sector.

Supporting the green transition through technology. Port of Aalborg is very active within CCUS where we are planning to become a receiving CO2 terminal for onshore storage in Denmark, and a production hub for green e-fuels as well as a test and demonstration site for CCU in collaboration with Aalborg University.

Strengthening the role as an off shore wind production and test hub for offshore wind development and becoming a key offshore storage hub supporting the European offshore plan reaching 500 GW by 2050.

Developing the hinterland and industrial park into a green ecosystem based on symbiosis and circular economy.
