The Port of Odense was established in early 1803, when a canal approximately 5 km long was dug from Odense to Odense Fjord to give the town direct access to the sea.
The port has since developed from being a steel shipyard from 1918 on the Odense Canal, and in 1959 the steel shipyard was moved to Munkebo, where the industrial port was established. In 2009, A. P. Møller Maersk decided to close the steel shipyard, following which the Port of Odense acquired the industrial port in 2014.

At times, there may be significant interest from the media in Odense Port and its tenants, which can be a positive development for everyone. However, it is important that both press, media visitors and all companies comply with Odense Port’s current guidelines.
At the port, we have great respect for the fact that it serves as a sanctuary where customers can develop the future in peace and without unwanted attention. These rules are in place to ensure both security and discretion.
