Jack-up hotel rig on journey from Grenaa to China

CCO at Port of Grenaa A/S, Theis Gisselbæk expresses great enthusiasm that Port of Grenaa and partners were given the opportunity to handle this very special task, which was only a possibility due to the large water depth and good sailing conditions available in Grenaa.

It is a rare, special and major operation to handle such a task. "That's why we've also produced some impressive footage of the loading and unloading, which we'd like to share with the industry."

With a length of 206.3 metres and a width of 43 metres, Audax is the largest vessel to have called at the port of Grenaa. This heavy-module carrier was built in 2016 and is of the Arctic ship type.
