Phase 3 of the port’s future-proofing project, closely aligned with a broader climate and infrastructure strategy, that began in late 2023. This phase added over 100,000 m² of project space, a 280 m quay, and a new Ro-Ro ramp, among other upgrades. The new facilities further strengthen the port’s growing importance as a logistics hub for wind turbine shipments and offshore activity in the region.

SFT was once again selected to collaborate with the contractor MT Højgaard— continuing a trusted partnership built over previous development phases at the Port of Rønne. The delivery prominently featured 24 Element Fenders (FE 1250×1000 mm, G2.4) with closed-box steel panels measuring 2250 × 2850 mm. The project scope also included 10 steel ladders and 28 T-head bollards, 24 of them with 125t mooring capacity and four with a capacity of 200t.

Engineering Precision and Reliability
Faced with high demands on design, performance, testing, and rubber quality, our in-house engineering team designed the Element Fender systems to fully meet all requirements. The final solution included tension chains to control deflection, ensuring efficient energy absorption, durability, and structural integrity during berthing impacts.

Continued Trust in Proven Performance
The client demonstrated an exceptional eye for detail throughout the project, setting high standards that motivated the entire SFT team to deliver customized solutions precisely aligned with their expectations. Having successfully supplied Fender Systems for Phase 2, this continued partnership reflects their trust in our expertise and our ability to deliver consistent quality across multiple stages of a long-term development.

With Phase 3 now completed, the port has doubled its capacity to handle concurrent offshore wind shipments — a milestone that strengthens its role in the Baltic Sea. As the Port of Rønne moves into Phase 4 of the future-proofing project, we remain dedicated to delivering high-performance fender systems that support the port’s future ambitions.
