Port of Thyborøn
The port of Thyborøn was originally established as a fishing harbour in 1914. Given its strategic location close to fishing grounds, neighbouring countries around the North Sea, gravel pits and the future wind farms in the North Sea, the port has been steadily evolving over the years.[2]
