CCO at Port of Grenaa, Theis Gisselbæk expresses great enthusiasm that the Port of Grenaa and its partners were given the opportunity to handle this very special task, which was only possible due to the great water depth and good navigational 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."
