With a revenue of DKR 76 million and a DKR 3.5 million profit, the Port of Hirtshals looks back at satisfactory 2021. Even though the coronavirus crisis made an impact on traffic patterns, the port maintained a high activity level which will only increase in the coming years. Massive investments will create new possibilities as well as growth for both existing and new businesses on the port.

In 2021, more than two million tons of cargo and over 152,000 trucks and trailers passed through the Port of Hirtshals. These are the highest figures over the past three years and a positive development at a time when the number of cars, passengers and landings of fish have fallen due to the corona situation.

Usually, the shipyard industry is not the first thing you think of when it comes to recycling and sustainability. But at Hirtshals Yard, it has long been the standard way of things, and today, they sort their waste into 19 different fractions - including fluorescent tubes, batteries, paint, waste oil, plastic, insulation, electronics, concrete, cardboard, and many more.
