Lindø Port of Odense in Denmark has teamed up with two construction companies for an expansion of its facilities.
A maritime engineering and construction consortium of Jan de Nul from Belgium and Züblin from Denmark will extend an industrial area of the port by 400,000 square metres and build one kilometre of new quay.
These facilities will provide more space to extend port activities within bulk goods and maritime and offshore industries.
The new land, quay and a special heavy-load area will all be part of a new Terminal North at Lindø.
