Aabenraa Havn is the name of the port of the Danish city of Aabenraa ( German Aabenraa ), which is located at the end of the Aabenraa Fjord (German Aabenraa Fjord). Thanks to its location on the deep fjord, sea trade was an important source of income for the city at an early stage. With a water depth of up to 18 meters, it is the only deep water port in the German-Danish border region Sønderjylland-Schleswig and the deepest below the public transport ports in the western part of the Baltic Sea. The Aabenraa municipality administers the port. A separate budget separates economic issues from the municipality. The management is held by a seven-person management made up of representatives from the city council and business. Aabenraa Havn is connected to the European trunk road network via the Danish Sønderjyske Motorvej motorway , a section of European route 45 .
Port design
The port has a quay length of two kilometers and can be called by ships with a length of up to 250 m. An approximately one kilometer long, 120 m wide and 11 m deep fairway leads from the fjord to the quays. The site consists of three docks ; in north-south direction these are the Nyhavn (New Harbor, depth: 6.5–9.3 m), the Gammelhavn (Old Harbor, 7.5 m) and the Sydhavn (South Harbor, 4.0 m). Furthermore, part of the harbor next to the marina of Sønderjyllandskajen (Südjütlandskai, 11.0 m) with associated RoRo Plant and the tanker bridge I southeast of Nyhavn (11.0 m) and II in Nyhavn itself (7.0 m). At the southern end, which is separated from the rest of the harbor by a stretch of beach around two kilometers long, there is also the quay for the Enstedværket . This is where the deep-water port is located, where tankers and cargo ships up to 18 m deep can supply the thermal power station .
history
The port was first mentioned in 1257, when Christoph I assured the Cistercians from Løgumkloster that they would be exempt from duty when they cleared their sea trade over the ship's bridge. After trading activities ceased in the mid-16th century, the bridge fell into disrepair and trade only flourished again in the 18th century. Around 1780 the first port basin, the Gammelhavn , was completed and around 1800 with the Tømmergårdshavn another built at the mouth of the Au Mølleå , where the first shipyard was built. The shipbuilding industry had its heyday in the 1850s when up to 3,500 workers were employed there. This era ended with the closure of the last shipyard in 1883. Previously, the city had lost most of its fleet during the War against England from 1807 to 1814, but trade returned as early as the 1820s. In 1864, Aabenraa was even considered the leading port city in Sønderjylland , where East Indiaman sailed overseas.
In 1889 the port was connected to the Rødekro – Aabenraa railway and a second port basin, the Sydhavn , was inaugurated. Already a quarter of a century later, on May 23, 1925, the largest port basin, the Nyhavn , was opened by the Danish King Christian X. Other innovations were the marina south of the mouth of the floodplain in 1975, the Sønderjyllandskajen in 1983 and the RoRo facility established there in 1996.
In March 2009 there were 1,283 jobs at Aabenraa Havn, about two thirds of which were in port-based companies.
envelope
While the port still handled over 2 million tonnes of goods in 2007, the turnover in 2010 fell to around 1.1 million tonnes due to the global financial crisis . In its 2010 annual report, the port administration reported net sales of DKR 23.5 million and a surplus of around DKR 4.7 million. In the same year, 308 merchant ships , including 75 tankers and 233 bulk carriers , with a total of over one million gross registered tons, called at the port.
