APM Terminals signed an agreement with the Port of Kalundborg to extend the concession of the Kalundborg container terminal by 10 years to 2033.
APM Terminals aims to increase its presence by assuming responsibility for all facility crane operations in the Danish terminal. Also, the company will introduce food and veterinary control as new customer services following investments made by the port.
The Maersk-owned global port operator commenced terminal operations in Kalundborg in March 2021.
Kalundborg Port is located next to the deep-sea route in the Great Belt, linking the Baltic Sea and the North Sea. Located close to the capital of Denmark, Copenhagen, APM Terminals Kalundborg has access to one of the largest areas in the country, while offering approximately 12-hour shorter steam times by sea.
The 50.000 m² area located in Ny Vesthavn (New West Harbour) was designated by the port of Kalundborg with a water depth of 15 metres and fully paved with the required infrastructure for APM Terminals to start operations.
“With Kalundborg, we see an opportunity to provide customers with exceptional service and an efficient, greener, and competitive product in a strong location, which is well connected, accessible, and closer to industry and customers of the port,” said Mikael Gutman, managing director Nordic, APM Terminals.
