Maritime Service

The Port of Thyborøn is a centre of excellence for the maritime service industry and drives growth throughout the local area. From generation to generation, the service industry grew stronger as fisheries developed. Cutters are now much larger and technically advanced and, in recent years, we have seen maritime companies develop and offer their services to other industries. Service freighters, and entrepreneur and offshore vessels are also serviced on the Port of Thyborøn.

Fishing-related professions, such as trawl making, are strongly represented on the Port of Thyborøn. Many of them have state-of-the-art production facilities. Trawls stretched and repaired on the quays are an ordinary, everyday sight here.

About the Port of Thyborøn

The Port of Thyborøn is an independent municipal port, which is owned by Lemvig Municipality. The port has independent budget and accounting, an independent executive management team and a professional Board of Directors. The port was founded by the Danish State in pursuance of the Act of 29 May 1914, which means that the port has already celebrated its centenary. With strong roots in the fishing industry, the port is now one of Denmark's three largest fishing ports (by volume and value) and currently the home port for about 100 fishing vessels. Over the years, the maritime service industry at Thyborøn has developed and bulk activities have increased significantly in the last ten years. Thyborøn is now an important break bulk port on the Danish North Sea coast.
