A VISION FOR A NATIONALLY DESIGNATED INDUSTRIAL SITE WITH SCALE, INFRASTRUCTURE AND PORT ACCESS

Designated Industrial Area

The Femern site is fully designated for industrial use, providing a secure base for large-scale development.

Located in the Femern corridor, it offers scale, port access and strong links to European transport routes; suited for energy-intensive industry, manufacturing and logistics.

With established infrastructure and maritime access, it represents a rare, fully approved opportunity for long-term industrial investment in Northern Europe.

Strategic Advantages

• Business potential: supports future mega-projects and green transition industries
• Cost efficiency: reuse of existing infrastructure avoids major capex
• Faster delivery: saves 1–2 years and reduces development risk
• Sustainability: lower CO₂ impact; avoids new land and marine development
• Skills retention: preserves local expertise from the Femern project

About the Facility

• World’s largest tunnel factory on a 150 ha site
• Production, dry docks, port, storage and worker village
• Main factory spans 14 ha with 30 m ceiling clearance
• Three dry docks (100 × 600 m; ~11 m depth) with flexibility to combine
• Harbour with breakwaters and 150 m entrance; depth 8.7–10.3 m
• Worker village for ~1,350 staff 750–1,000 ha of surrounding land available for future development

Potential Activities for the Existing Production Facility

Preliminary studies, including industry dialogue with green transition and offshore wind stakeholders, confirm strong potential for the Femern site:

• Offshore wind
• Shipyard capacity
• Large-scale infrastructure
• Production facilities
• Logistics
• Energy
• Synergies
• Expansion

Expansion & Industrial Development

Lolland Municipality is leveraging the region’s location, scale and heavy-industrial assets to support long-term growth across the green transition and defence sectors.

The integrated port and industrial model enables high-value jobs and resilient supply chains; suited to defence and dual-use activities requiring secure facilities, deep-water access and large-scale production.

An additional ~776 ha is planned for expansion, supporting activities such as:

• Naval shipbuilding, maintenance and repair
• Defence and dual-use production
• Large concrete and offshore wind components
• Wind turbine manufacturing and repair
• Decommissioning and recycling
• Logistics and secure supply chains
