Port of Ystad Works Are on Track
The expansion of the port with two new ferry berths is going very well. The construction of the breakwater is now approx. 1500m long, all the sheet piles for the ferry berths are installed and very soon the whole new pier will be filled.
One third of the dredging is completed and the material from the dredging is being reused between the new and the old breakwater. The area will be an important part of the port´s future development.
Confidence has returned to LHG (Port of Lübeck) after the unions accepted the rescue package last week. A planned extension of the handling area at the Skandinavienkai can now become reality. The quay area could get 16 more hectares.
Parts of the paper business would be relocated from the Nordland terminal (Lübeck) to the Skandinavienkai (Travemünde), closer to the sea. The LHG confirmed that construction should start in the first half of 2018, and the expansion could be completed by the end of 2019.
