Strategy and development
Port of Skagen wishes to meet future challenges and opportunities
head on. Our vision is to generate results which put the
harbour in a financial position to continue to develop existing
services as well as attracting new commercial ventures.
In order to support the harbour’s strategy a number of development
projects have been initiated in recent years, including long
term investments. These initiatives have developed in parallel
with a number of measures taken by harbour stakeholders,
providing an excellent synergy between the harbour’s general
development and that of individual harbour companies.
Port of Skagen has seen greater developments in the fishing
area than any other Danish port, and its position as Denmark’s
largest open water fishing harbour has been strengthened.
We will continue to focus our attention on the potential for
developments in this area and it will form the basis of the port’s
continued growth.
The freight and transport segment is a further growth area.
International nautical freight volume projections make this a
particularly attractive development area for Port of Skagen.
Port of Skagen will prioritise efforts in the following four areas:
/ Maintain independent authority to take quick decisions and
further develop our customer base.
/ Maintain an administrative and operational level sufficient
to allow the harbour to meet its strategic goals.
/ Maintain a balanced development of the harbour area
and its infrastructure in order to meet customer needs and
develop the harbour’s full potential.
/ Further develop our relation to harbour customers and their
companies’ such that they are serviced in the best possible
way.
In the central section of Port of Skagen we will be focusing on
the market for leisure and recreational services, which continues
to be a growth industry in the developed world.
Furthermore, it is our intention to encourage innovative new
business areas, based on the unique geographical position and
cultural significance of Skagen and Port of Skagen.
