The Port of Thyboron is a busy commercial port. The port was originally established as a fishing harbour in 1914 with the diligence and grit which is so typical of West Jutlanders. Given its strategic location close to fishing grounds, neighbouring countries around the North Sea, gravel pits and the forthcoming wind farms in the North Sea, the port has been steadily evolving over the years, and now has four equally significant business areas – fishing, freight, maritime services and offshore.

We listen to and work with our customers to create the right framework for the best possible working conditions, and the right infrastructure to cater for widely varying needs. Good service is fundamental to our culture. Providing the best and most flexible service imaginable is part and parcel of our DNA. The Port of Thyboron’s service policy
