About The Port of Hanstholm

Port of Hanstholm

A fishing port with great potential

The Port of Hanstholm is one of Denmark's largest fishing ports and a leader in the market for fish for consumption.

At the heart of the port is Hanstholm Fish Auction – one of Europe’s leading fish auctions – with an impressive annual turnover of approximately 40,000 tons of fish. Surrounding the auction is a strong ecosystem of businesses within fish processing, export, and a wide range of maritime services.

With excellent sailing conditions, modern quay facilities, and spacious hinterland areas ready for development, the Port of Hanstholm offers ideal conditions for new business ventures. While fishing remains a core focus, the port also presents exciting opportunities within cargo handling, offshore industries, and the green transition.
