The Port of Hirtshals' corona measures
After the announcement by the Danish Prime Minister, Mette Frederiksen on Wednesday evening that the country will be closed down in order to reduce the risk of COVID-19 infections, the Port of Hirtshals decided to adapt the activities of the port to the current situation.
To limit the risk of spreading COVID-19, the Port of Hirtshals now take measures which mean that the entire port office is closed for entrance. Port control can therefore only be contacted on telephone +45 98 94 14 22 and / or by e-mail havnevagten@hirtshalshavn.dk.
The service of the port area will also be limited, as the staff in Technical Service will be divided into two teams working in shifts, and therefore there will only be half of the staff at work at the same time. In this way, the Port of Hirtshals will maintain a minimum level of service and thus reduce the inconveniences for the customers of the port.
