A new 374m-long, 11m-deep cruise pier is being built at the Port of Roenne, with completion expected in the fall. This new facility will replace the berths used over the past three years, which are needed by other business sectors, explains Yana Grundke, chief business officer at the port.
In addition, accessibility to the old cruise pier will also be improved this year through the removal of the inner breakwaters and the extension of the southern outer breakwater. These measures will significantly enhance navigation and manoeuvring conditions by creating a much calmer harbour basin.
The new pier is close to Destination Bornholm’s (DB) visitor centre - just a 15-minute walk - and about 20 minutes on foot to the main square in the city centre. There are 70 calls booked this year, which is a 150 percent increase on 2015, says Torsten Engsig, cruise coordinator DB.
A working group has been established to explore the possibility of installing OPS at the new pier. Grundke is confident that it will happen, stating: “We will do it, but we don’t have a date yet.”
