The Port of Aarhus closed the first half of 2025 with a solid financial result and an increase in total freight turnover of 5.3 percent. Container turnover (TEU) in particular has increased significantly by over 13 percent compared to the same period last year. This has led Denmark’s largest commercial port to revise up expectations for all of 2025.
The first half of 2025 has been marked by great global unpredictability, which has affected world trade and sent shifts in global supply chains. This has also been felt in Aarhus.
After the first six months of 2025, the Port of Aarhus has achieved a revenue of DKK 186 million with an EBIT of DKK 52 million. The total result is DKK 48 million. This causes the Port of Aarhus to revise up its expectations for the year’s overall result by DKK 23 million.
During the first six months of the year, several new container routes to and from Aarhus have been introduced. This applies, among other things, to the two direct connections to and from Asia from MSC and Maersk and Hapag-Lloyd respectively. In addition, Maersk has introduced several new connections and the shipping company CMA CGM has introduced a new route connecting to and from the Baltic region.
