The first choice in Arctic business
Goods destined for Greenland arebeing loaded in Port of Aalborg,Greenland base port. Land basedfacilities such as ware houses, coldstores and a cluster of companiesspecializing in Arctic logisticsprovide a solid base for costefficient and reliable supply.

But the Arctic is still ahostile, yet fragile environment. Cultural and politicalissues may need to be addressed.

Aalborg - a logic venuefor Arctic BusinessHenning G. JensenMayor, City of Aalborg
Denmark’s ties to Greenland are most evident in Northern Denmark, wherethe shipping company Royal Arctic Line has had its base port since 1973. “TheGreenland Port”, which is the popular name for Port of Aalborg’s Eastern section,is the centre for trade and transportation to Greenland. The cooperation withGreenland has provided significant development for both Greenlandic and Dan-ish society.More than 60% of all goods destined for Greenland is produced and/or deliveredby North Danish companies through our port, further strengthened by regularline traffic to e.g. Rotterdam. Aalborg is also in other ways a natural centre forcooperation, education and development activities with Greenland and theGovernment of Greenland. The pace of development is escalating, fuelled forexample by climate changes, which wreak havoc in some parts of the world , buthere may be an enabler for new perspectives, new tasks, and new settings. How-ever, our relationship is still governed by the need for knowledge and experiencewith working in the demanding environment of the Arctic.
