Troels Nyerup, Harbor Manager at Blue Water Shipping, is in charge of the tunnel construction site’s huge working harbour.
Blue Water is a major player in shipping, transport and logistics solutions. The working port at the Fehmarn tunnel site is their biggest task so far in port operations.
Belgian DEME, whos is parts of the FLC-joint-venture, will help build the world’s first artificial energy island. The energy island Princess Elisabeth Island will be located 45 kilometers from the coast in the Belgian part of the North Sea.
There is a need for more employees at Blue Water, which handles the operation of the working harbor for FLC.
With up to 35,000 annual ferry trips close to Northern Europe’s largest construction work, coordination and consideration must be taken. Scandlines greatly appreciates the cooperation with the future competitor on the Fehmarn Belt.
Sometimes size just makes a difference. Bredgaard Steel ApS is a prime example of why it can be a good idea for two companies to join forces to get Fehmarn tasks.
When the technology fails on board the work ships, or the engine makes strange noises, the ship engineering experts from K.J. Elektro A/S move out.
FLC secured the construction site in Rødbyhavn in time, and the first storm of the year was considerate enough to hit on a weekend, so that it did not have a major impact on the work. A single ship of FBC had to seek port for a few hours.
It is not credible that FBC calculates that there have been three million hours of work without accidents on the Fehmarn project, believes 3F vice-chairman. The subcontractors are not counted in the statistics.
The FBC consortium, which among other things is responsible for the excavation of the tunnel trench, has reached a significant milestone. Three million working hours have now passed without occupational accidents.
