Groundbreaking event

In May 2024, we reached a significant milestone in our journey towards a greener future with the commencement of construction on one of the largest shore power facilities for cruise in Europe.

Copenhagen’s Lord Mayor, Sophie Hæstorp Andersen, CMP’s CEO Barbara Scheel Agersnap, and CEO of By & Havn, Anne Skovbro, broke ground in Ydre Nordhavn, officially launching the construction in collaboration with PowerCon and Entreprenørfirmaet Nordkysten A/S. The facility will provide shore power to the many cruise ships visiting our city — both at Oceankaj and Langelinie.

“The marking of the construction start for the new shore power facility together with the Municipality of Copenhagen and By & Havn is an important milestone in the green transition that benefits the people of Copenhagen. We are therefore very much looking forward to putting the facility into operation the first half of 2025 and offering shore power to the ships that call at Oceankaj and Langelinie – 5 years before it becomes a legal requirement”, says Barbara Scheel Agersnap, CEO at Copenhagen Malmö Port.
