Stena Oil Commences Operations in Frederikshavn! Stena Oil has initiated operations at the new fuel terminal in Frederikshavn. Towards the end of last week, Stena Terminals A/S, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Stena Oil, and the Port of Frederikshavn, signed the takeover agreement, signifying that Stena Oil has taken possession of the terminal. - We have a good collaboration with the Port of Frederikshavn, and we have maintained an ongoing dialogue throughout the entire process. Our focus has consistently been to kickstart our operations in Frederikshavn and we are pleased that we have now achieved that goal, says Jonas Persson, MD of Stena Oil. The new terminal enables a more efficient infrastructure for Stena Oil and complements the existing operations in Gothenburg. In connection with the establishment in Frederikshavn, a newly built bunkering vessel will be deployed in the first quarter of this year which handles various types of fuels, including biofuels and methanol. One of the customers to be served from Frederikshavn is Stena Line with its ferry routes in Denmark and Kattegat. - We are moving into a newly built, state-of-the-art terminal with a capacity of 75,000 cubic metres. The geographical location brings us closer to our customers, allowing us to offer an even more efficient delivery with environmental benefits and solutions for future fuels, says Jonas Persson. Stena Oil is part of the Stena Metall Group, which reported a turnover of SEK 44 billion during the 2022/2023 fiscal year. - The startup of Stena Oil’s activities is a major milestone for Port of Frederikshavn, and it is with the greatest pleasure that we can now finally welcome Stena Oil to Frederikshavn, says Mikkel Seedorff Sørensen, CEO Port of Frederikshavn. The terminal is situated on the new areas of the port with 14 metres water depth, which were established in connection with an expansion of the port from 2016-2020. - It is a result of a close collaboration with Stena Oil that we are now able to hand over the bunker terminal after a construction period marked by challenges, and we look forward to the increasing level of activity, which the bunker operations will bring to Port of Frederikshavn, says Mikkel Seedorff Sørensen. #portoffrederikshavn #portofopportunities #fuelterminal

ORSKOV YARD has just published the financial accounts for the staggered fiscal year 2022/23 with closing of accounts on September 30, 2023. This year’s result after taxes accounts for 71 million DKK, which the management sees for very satisfying. The turnover in the financial year 2022/23 reached 781 million DKK against 699 million DKK the year before. The profit of 71 million DKK means that Orskov Yard for the second year in a row presents a historic result. In 2021/22 the result after taxes was 52 million DKK and this was a new record. - The market for ship repairs, maintenance and reconstruction of ships has been particularly favourable in the past year, where we have had a good and stable order intake with high use of our docks, workshops, and human resources. We have had some exciting assignments within the ship segments we work within, which confirm that our focus on safety, quality, flexibility, and delivery on time has great value for our customers, since the shipyards repeatedly come back to the yard for service or reconstruction of their ships, says CEO Lars Fischer. In extension of the traditional assignments for maintenance and reconstruction of ships, the yard has experienced an increase in CO2 reducing and energy effective retrofit solutions, which has contributed positively to the yard’s level of activity. This development is expected to continue the next years, where retrofit of available technical solutions will be an alternative to building new ships. With the increasing level of activity, Orskov Yard now has 225 employees, and it is concurrently assessed that another 500 people are engaged as sub-suppliers, which work for the yard. #portoffrederikshavn #portofopportunities #maritimeservices

Port of Frederikshavn has entered into agreement with charging operator Clever on 22 new chargers for electric vehicles at Sydhavnsvej in the northern part of the ferry harbour on the parking area. The new charging station was inaugurated Thursday, 14th December and consists of 16 regular chargers and 6 fast chargers. The charging stations can be used by all electric vehicles 24/7 and we hope that the central location at the port will be beneficiary for both local electric vehicle drivers and those on the road for instance ferry guests and tourists. #portoffrederikshavn #portofopportunities

The maritime service industry VMS Group A/S expands and grows. Here Marketing Manager Steen Helberg talks about the major development the company is experiencing: - The simple explanation on why VMS Group moved from rented facilities on Havnepladsen 12 to owned domicile on Nordhavnsvej 1, is that we needed space. In part, we needed workshop space, but we also needed office space. We have therefore kept our workshop facilities on Havnepladsen, and with the new square metres on Nordhavnsvej, we increase our workshop area with nearly 3,000 square metres and our complete area in Frederikshavn is over 10,000 square metres. - We come from our best result ever in the financial year 2022 and will improve this result within present year. Fortunately, this covers some markets, which insomuch have considerable success. Not the least, the offshore business, where drilling rigs and vessel are activated in great numbers. This means that many engines are to be overhauled as an important part of the preparation operation. Also other of our businesses, such as the cruise business, with their focus on green solutions, and the wind power industry, give us considerable success. - We have hired more than 70 employees across our departments here in Frederikshavn, Brazil and Namibia and we could easily hire more, if we could find the people with the right qualifications. This is unfortunately now easy locally in Frederikshavn, so we are looking both in the south of Denmark and further into the world, when we must recruit people for our ambitious expansion plans for the next years. This even though we have already decided that Frederikshavn is and will remain the headquarters at VMS Group.  #portoffrederikshavn #portofopportunities #maritimeservices
