The contract notices for Phase 3 and Phase 4 are made public simultaneously. The Port of Rønne recognises that there are significant advantages and synergy benefits to be gained if both phases are carried out by the same tenderer. Particularly in relation to creating and maintain the best and most safe navigation conditions for all traffic in the harbour, especially for the ferry services to Bornholm, but also for the harbour’s continued use as an offshore wind installation and service port, as well as to ensure the general port service and security of supply to the island.
