Denmark's Port Esbjerg and Korea's Port of Ulsan have joined forces in a strategic partnership to enhance innovation and sustainability in the maritime sector. This collaboration leverages the expertise of both ports in handling hydrogen, ammonia, and offshore wind projects. Port Esbjerg announced the partnership on social media, highlighting the potential to benefit from Ulsan's knowledge in managing hydrogen and ammonia. The Port of Esbjerg, located near the North Sea, is set to take a leading role in expanding offshore wind capacity, with plans to establish significant wind power by 2030 and 2050. Recent agreements have secured substantial investments for Port Esbjerg, including funds for offshore wind turbine production facilities, terminals for green fuels, and the development of a multi-modal hub. On the other hand, Ulsan Port is focusing on transforming into a low-carbon energy center, with initiatives to support methanol-fueled ships and establish a hydrogen and ammonia terminal for clean energy storage and supply. The collaboration follows a visit by a Danish delegation to Ulsan, reinforcing the strong relationship between the two ports and the presence of Danish maritime companies in the region.
