Everything at the Fehmarn construction is on a large scale. Very large. For instance, in the first nine months of the year, Femern A/S had project expenses of an average of 2 million Euros per day – or 565 million in total.
When operating with numbers of that size, percentage changes also make a very big difference. This can be seen in the developer’s financing costs, which in the same period have more than doubled from nearly 54 million to just over 134 million Euros due to interest rate increases and inflation.
The Fehmarn Tunnel will end up being expensive, but the truth is that nobody knows exactly how expensive, because the price of money is not fixed.
Welcome to December and thanks for reading.

Apprentices from all over Denmark flock to Fehmarn construction site

YouTube video can attract labor
A new YouTube documentary about the Fehmarn connection, which has gained millions of views in a few days, could potentially help recruit labour.
