Port Esbjerg – Connecting Europe and the rest of the world
Port Esbjerg is a strategic gateway to Europe, a cornerstone for several offshore industries and a key hub for RoRo logistics in Northern Europe. Port Esbjerg is home to more than 200 companies employing approximately 10,000 people, covering 4.8 million square metres – recently expanded by an additional 570,000 m².
For more than two decades, Port Esbjerg has been the main installation hub for the European wind industry, with four-fifths of Europe’s offshore wind capacity, a total of 27.5 GW, shipped from the port, making it an integral part of the European green energy transition. Additionally, the port serves as the primary service hub for the Danish oil and gas industry, supporting a wide range of activities in the North Sea. And each year around 4 million tonnes of cargo is handled through the port.
With direct access to the North Sea and seamless connections to integrated road, rail, and air transport networks, the port enables fast, efficient, and cost-effective flows of multimodal cargo and direct routes to European and global markets.
Deep-sea and short-sea routes provide direct access to the rest of Europe, while the recent deepening of the fairway enables the port to accommodate larger vessels from sea.
Supported by modern infrastructure and a highly trained workforce, the port delivers fast and reliable handling of all cargo types. Facilities and extensive terminal capacity ensure that the port is equipped to manage everything from large offshore renewable energy components to thousands of cars each year, as well as breakbulk and complex project cargo.
Dedicated equipment, specialized storage areas, and around-the-clock operational readiness enable the port to maintain high efficiency across all cargo handling and reinforce Port Esbjerg’s position as the preferred gateway to Europe

“Port Esbjerg is a comprehensive port in the TEN-T network and connecting seamlessly to the North Sea – Baltic Corridor. This strategic position provides excellent access from the Baltic region to the rest of the world,” says Dennis Jul Pedersen, CEO.
“Port Esbjerg has long been a strategic North Sea gateway for Europe’s offshore wind, RoRo, and project cargo flows. As we join the Baltic Ports Organization, we see strong opportunities to contribute with our experience while building new partnerships across the Baltic Sea region, strengthening connectivity and creating new growth opportunities for the entire network,” says Tracy Jin, Business Development Manager.
