INTRODUCTION TO THE NEW FEHMARN BELT FIXED LINK


The new Fehmarn Belt Fixed Link between Denmark and Germany will create an entirely new region of Europe by 2021. The new regional centre is the part of Denmark called “Lolland-Falster” linking southern Europe with Scandinavia, the Baltic Region and Eastern Europe while also providing direct access to a well-educated workforce and more than 9 million consumers within a range of 250 km along the Fehmarn Corridor. A massive local public investment programme to the tune of EUR 11 billion has been approved to ensure the best possible public service facilities – including fast, sustainable train connections, modern highways with no queues and easily accessible industrial business sites.


INTRODUCTION ...

THE ISLANDS LOLLAND AND FALSTER “Lolland-Falster” is the most southeasterly part of Denmark. It consists of two islands divided by a very small strait (Guldborgsund). Via modern bridges the islands are connected to Zealand, Copenhagen and Sweden. By the year 2021 a new 18-km tunnel will provide direct access to Germany and the rest of continental Europe.

FACTS ABOUT LOLLANDFALSTER

DEMOGRAPHIC DETAILS

“Lolland-Falster” is the joint designation for two rural Danish islands, which are often handled as one administrative unit due to their past history and for geographical reasons. In early history the area was called “Smålandene”, meaning the small countries – this name is used today to describe the small strip of ocean between Lolland-Falster and Zealand, which is called “Smålandsfarvandet”. The total area of the two islands amounts to 1,795 km2, which is shared by approximately 105,000 residents. More than 80% of the land is covered by forests and very fertile, cultivated fields. One half of the population lives in rural areas and in small villages.

The major cities are Nakskov (approx. 14,000 inhabitants) and Nykøbing Falster (approx. 17,000 inhabitants). There are about 9,000 registered companies located on LollandFalster. The tourists are attracted by long, white sandy beaches, pleasant countryside and some of Denmark’s wildest tourists attractions including the Knuthenborg Safari Park, the Medieval Centre and the Crocodile Zoo.

DEDICATED STAFF

Resident staff on Lolland-Falster are more loyal than elsewhere in Denmark. On average the local staff members here have served their companies for a much longer time than in most other areas of Denmark – thus, our companies benefit from a higher throughput and efficiency as well as from lower costs for the introduction and training of new staff. Average absence due to illness is 20% lower on Lolland-Falster compared to the rest of the country. Generally, you will be able to find highly educated, local staff for most job positions. The “job-centres” of Lolland and Guldborgsund Municipalities will assist if new staff members need additional training. The course content will be tailored to the needs of the individual companies and course expenses for unemployed people may be covered by the Municipalities.

WAGES, SALARIES AND OTHER BUSINESS COSTS

The economic incentives for operating a business at LollandFalster include comparatively lower wages and salaries complemented by much lower costs for land and buildings compared to other areas in Denmark. In addition, Denmark has the most flexible, tried-and-tested workforce regulation in Europe, making it easy straightforward to adjust the workforce numbers to meet specific needs and demands.


FACTS ABOUT LOLLAND-FALSTER

SUSTAINABILITY

The municipalities of Lolland and Guldborgsund (Falster and parts of Lolland) are committed to providing a sustainable environment for residents and companies. The energy needs within the area are covered 100% by renewable energy sources. Electricity exports from non-fossil fired generating units is 5 times higher than the local consumption. Industrial symbiosis is key when it comes to local waste handling, and municipal experts work with existing new companies moving in to provide optimal framework conditions.

TRANSPORT AND LOGISTICS SERVICES

In order to meet the rapidly increasing demand mainly from transport and logistics companies, a new 1.2 million m2 cargo handling centre and business park is being further developed at Exit 43 (Nørre Alslev) of Highway E47/E55. “Transport Centre Cargo Syd” (TCCS) supports all types of cargo trucks including the extended, modular units – thus, the facilities are especially attractive to companies operating in production, service and storage. The transport centre offers one-point-of-contact services, e.g. customs clearance, service and repair of trucks, fuel-facilities, redistribution of goods, café, storage, payment of road tax, office facilities, etc. Also, TCCS and the nearby Business Park Falster can finance and construct custom fitted buildings on behalf of

clients who would like to own or rent flexible and affordable office, storage and/or production facilities.

DISTANCES BY CAR

Geographically, the transport centre is located on the northern part of the island of “Falster” just where the main transport infrastructure lines from Hamburg and Berlin meet.

Copenhagen: 1 hour 15 minutes

Lolland Municipality and private investors have developed plans for a similar Business Park located at Highway Exit 48/Maribo only 13 km from the coming Fehmarnbelt Fixed Link.

Hamburg: 2 hours

Time to reach these destinations when travelling by car:

Malmö: 1 hour 30 minutes

Berlin: 2 hours 45 minutes

RAILWAY CONNECTIONS

Lolland-Falster is connected to Copenhagen/Sweden by hourly inter-city service. Also, international inter-city trains depart for/arrive from Germany every other hour. In addition, a fleet of local trains efficiently connect a number of smaller cities. In the next few years, train connections will be improved further in order to minimise travel time and the environmental impact. The railway is supported by an excellent network of bus routes to ensure speedy, door-to-door public transportation in many areas of Lolland-Falster.

HARBOURS

Gedser and Rødby harbours with the Gedser–Rostock and Rødby– Puttgarden ferry lines are the major ports between Europe and Scandinavia – and the two European transport corridors (the East European and the West European) meet at Lolland-Falster. This provides the excellent geographical basis for seamless international cooperation and trade. Thus, traffic and infrastructure issues are given high priority on the local political agenda. Five local service harbours are also readily available to service the business community:

• Orehoved harbour is located on the north side of Falster, ideally situated to handle shipments to/ from the Greater Copenhagen area – private co-investors are currently being sought for a 5 to 20-acre expansion plan.

• Bandholm harbour on the

north side of Lolland specialises in agricultural products and equipment and agribusiness consumables.

• The harbour of Nakskov to the

far eastern side of Lolland has once again become the centre of the local metal industry, i.e. components for wind generators.

• Stubbekøbing harbour on the

north side of Falster could play a major role as a service harbour for the offshore windfarm project at Kriegers Flak.

• Finally, the harbour of Nykøbing Falster is located between the islands of Falster and Lolland – this general-purpose facility will handle anything from timber logs to petroleum.

AIRPORT

Lolland-Falster International Airport is situated in the middle of Lolland, only 10 km from the future Fehmarn Belt Tunnel. The airfield offers a 1,200 x 30-m runway with lights in addition to a number of hangars and excellent parking facilities. Currently, it is well suited to cater for smaller propeller and jet aircraft, helicopters, business flights and taxi services.


FACTS ABOUT LOLLAND-FALSTER

MUNICIPAL SERVICES

The Municipalities of Lolland and Guldborgsund provide a comparably high service standard in terms of kindergartens, schools, elderly care, etc. Funding has been approved for a major expansion of the main local hospital in Nykøbing Falster. A recent national rating of the services offered by all 96 Danish municipalities highlights the strong points of Lolland-Falster:

• Excellent access to qualified and loyal staff.

FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES

The Municipality of Lolland is a rural area, where companies may be eligible for project co-financing under the EU Social Fund and the EU Regional Development Fund respectively. The allocation of funding for specific projects is administered locally by the “Vækstforum for Region Sjælland”. Co-financing from the EU funding programmes will cover only up to a maximum of 50% of the total project costs.

The primary goal of the aforesaid EU programmes is to support the following topics:

1. To strengthen innovation

within small and mediumsized enterprises through joint product development and market testing (at least three SMEs and one knowledge institution per project)

2. To promote the creation and

further development of networks.

• Fast handling of local enquiries and permits.

• Comparatively lower

local taxation scheme.

• One-point-of-contact.

“KRIEGERS FLAK” OFF-SHORE WINDFARM

The political Danish energy plan calls for at least 50% coverage of domestic electricity consumption from wind energy sources by the year 2050. Planned projects include a 1,200 MW off-shore windfarm including 600 MW from “Kriegers Flak” project, which will be located between Lolland-Falster (Denmark) and Germany. The windfarm at “Kriegers Flak” will be connected to Germany and Denmark – thus, the grid will ensure that the electricity produced can be used by both countries, and additionally it will be possible to utilise the grid for normal transfer/ trade of electricity among the two countries. The project will receive financial support from the European Union.

30

MILLION It is expected that concessions for the individual major components (wind generators, cables, transformer station, etc.) will be awarded during 2014/2015. The total investment is estimated at EUR 2.7 billion. Originally, the windfarm was estimated to go into operation by 2020. Due to recent legislative developments in Denmark, it may become necessary to postpone the erection of the windfarm by two years in order to secure the necessary public funding.

COASTAL WINDFARM EAST OF LOLLAND-FALSTER

The legislative framework for a new 200 MW coastal windfarm northwest of Lolland-Falster has been approved by the Danish Government. It is part of a total package comprising 600 MW at six different locations within Denmark. The wind generators must be placed at a distance of least 4 km from the beach. Originally, the concessions were expected to be awarded during 2015/2016 and the completed windfarm was scheduled to go into operation no later than the year 2020. Due to recent changes to a Danish regulatory scheme, it might not be possible to secure public funding in time for the original schedule – therefore, the project may be delayed by up to two years.

The investment amounts to approximately EUR 535 million. The Danish grid operator “Energinet.dk” will work with the investors/project developers on this project.

“DANMARKSRINGEN” RACING TRACK, RØDBY

A private developer has received preliminary approval from Lolland Municipality to erect and operate racing track at an area east of the future fixed link near Rødby. This location is expected to attract visitors from within a 2-hour drive of the racing track – an area with 3–4 million residents and prospective visitors. The Project calls for a 5–6 km racing track, which will provide the opportunity to host major international racing events – short of Formula 1. The track will be divided into sectors, which will make it possible to run different events simultaneously.

The racing centre is expected to offer appropriate service facilities such as offices/meeting rooms/relaxation, service and repair shops, etc. An environmental impact assessment is being prepared. The project is scheduled to be ready immediately following the opening of the fixed link connection in 2021. The total expected project investment amounts to approximately EUR 14 million.

FEHMARN BELT CANAL CITY, RØDBY

In order to accommodate workers for the future Fehmarn Belt tunnel and other major public projects on Lolland, it will be necessary to construct various types of new housing units in the vicinity of Rødby. Following the departure of the construction workers, it is foreseen that the accommodation in the more distant future could be used by tourists and local residents. Inspired by e.g. “Canal de Medi” in France and “Le Corbusier Venice Hospital”, for example, “Canal City Rødby” concept has been developed by Lolland Municipality and other project partners. The project calls for clusters of individual waterfront housing units in very attractive surroundings. Each cluster may comprise from 10–100 housing units as well as a

café, indoor/outdoor eating area and other community facilities. The housing units range in size from 35–125 m2 in a modular pre-fabricated design, which will allow for a very short on-site construction period. Module dimensions are depth 2.4 metres x width 3.3 metres. The project calls for the use of sustainable materials including a renewable energy supply.
