Port of Halland and Port of Grenaa in joint collaboration - Kattegat Port Alliance

The Port of Grenaa and the Port of Halland have long been friendly ports through their relationship with Stena Line's ferry service between Grenaa, formerly Varberg and now Halmstad. Now the ports are taking the next step and deepening their cooperation through the Kattegat Port Alliance - a strategic collaboration to create growth and sustainable logistics solutions for customers in the key segments Cargo Mobility, Energy and Offshore Wind.
The reason for the collaboration is that the ports see great opportunities in sharing experiences and developing joint projects within sustainability, innovation and logistics solutions. By formalizing the collaboration, both parties can benefit from each other's strengths and create added value for their customers.
"We see this partnership as an important strategic element in our continued growth and development. For our customers and for us, we see potential and good synergies by strengthening and developing our cooperation across the Kattegat. Port of Halland and Port of Grenaa have had a very good, positive and close cooperation for many years, and the announcement of this partnership agreement is a natural, but innovative, development in our cooperation", says Henrik Carstensen, CEO at Port of Grenaa.
"This collaboration means that we can offer our customers even more efficient and sustainable solutions by combining our resources and competencies. Together with the Port of Grenaa, we create new opportunities to optimize cargo flows, improve warehousing and facilitate the handling of complex projects", says Carl-Henrik Hägg, CEO Hallands Hamnar.
Investing in key segments
The collaboration will primarily focus on the Cargo Mobility, Energy and Offshore Wind segments.
"We choose to focus on these segments initially, as we see good opportunities to jointly create growth and strengthen the offering to customers here. The Port of Grenaa has a strong position in these segments and offers valuable expertise and resources that complement Port of Halland's own strengths," says Carl-Henrik Hägg.
In offshore wind, collaboration creates benefits throughout the deployment process. Transportation and handling of wind turbine components is streamlined when both ports' land, resources and expertise can be utilized, while also increasing the cost efficiency of the projects.
"We see it as a natural step towards attracting more wind turbine projects to the region and creating stronger logistics flows for our customers," continues Henrik Carstensen.
But it is also important to highlight our focus on the broad collaboration on our well-known segments: Stacking, Bulk and Recycling. The collaboration is also about optimizing warehousing and logistics for the existing flows of goods that pass through the respective ports. Something that we hope can provide environmental benefits.
