APM Terminals expands activities in Kalundborg

The container terminal at Ny Vesthavn in Kalundborg has expanded from 50,000 to 75,000 square meters as of August 1 to make room for more activity and growth. This is part of the collaboration between the Port of Kalundborg and APM Terminals and their vision to create a competitive and ambitious port for the benefit of the area's businesses and customers.

"I am pleased that our valuable collaboration with APM Terminals is continuing to grow and is now being further developed with new activities. It is a confirmation that APM Terminals can see the opportunities in Kalundborg and we look forward to the continued good collaboration. The potential and ambitions are for even more, and we have the capacity for this at Ny Vesthavn," says Port Director Bent Rasmussen, Port of Kalundborg.

The new lease of 25,000 additional square meters gives APM Terminals better opportunities to meet the needs of customers in the local area.

"Kalundborg has enormous potential for us in the work of creating efficient and less polluting access to and from the Danish market via Zealand. The agreement for more capacity at the port is a sign that the development is moving towards growth and new opportunities for customers and the local area," says Mikael Gutman, CEO of APM Terminals Nordics.

Container port in growth

In 2020, APM Terminals entered into an agreement with the Port of Kalundborg to establish and operate a new container terminal in Kalundborg and the following year, APM Terminals started container activities at Kalundborg Ny Vesthavn on March 1 at a newly established 50,000 m2 terminal.
Subsequently, the Port of Kalundborg has constructed new buildings for, among other things, Customs and Veterinary Control, so that the terminal can offer the full range of services that are normally associated with a container terminal.
The collaboration has also led to the Port of Kalundborg and APM Terminals initiating a project called Green Zealand Gateway, which will put the terminal at the Port of Kalundborg in the lead in the green transition. The aim is to reduce emissions through electrification of the port's mobile cranes and a switch to hydrogenated vegetable oil (HVO) on rolling stock has already been made. In addition, work is underway to electrify all equipment at the terminal.
