The future has arrived - or at least the future within salmon logistics and salmon distribution namely the shipping company Hav Line's factory-transport vessel "Norwegian Gannet". On November 13, 2018 "Norwegian Gannet" called the Port of Hirtshals for the first time in relation with a test call but already within the next couple of weeks, it is expected that "Norwegian Gannet" has been set into operation and therefore will deliver salmon to the new salmon terminal at the Port of Hirtshals.

With an increasing degree of digitalization and integration of systems, the Port of Hirtshals will continuously improve its operations, reduce the operating costs and provide better service to collaborators. It is several years ago, the last invoice was sent by letter, and from the beginning of 2018, most paper was gone in the daily administration. The port is now ready to take the next step - it will be taken during 2019.

Smyril Line's new administration and storage facilities is the first commercial building at the Port of Hirtshals' land expansion. The building is built by HMU and contains storage facilities of 2,700 sqm and office facilities of 600 sqm.
