The Port of Copenhagen

As shown on the plan (see page 60), this harbour consists of two moles which will serve as berthage for the pleasure craft. A light pier will also be constructed between the two moles for berthing craft. An area of about 10.000 sq. metres has been reclaimed in the southern part of the Yacht Harbour for Copenhagen row­ ing clubs where they can have their boat- and club houses. Accommodation will be provided in the harbour for about 340 sailing and motor boats. The harbour will probably be opened this spring. Tourist Traffic During the summer of 1937 the Port was visited by 55 large tourists ships with an aggregate tonnage of 418,936 net reg. tons. Of these vessels 50 were berthed at the Langelinie Quay. On board these ships 27,000 foreigners visited the city. At Nordre Toldbod principally ships from the North-Ger­ man ports of Stettin, Liibeck and Kolberg were berthed, car­ rying passengers mostly of German nationality. The Swedish American Line during 1937 opened a branch office in Copenhagen. From the beginning of 1938 it is their intention to let the company’s vessels call at the Port both on their eastward and on their westward-bound journeys. MISCELLANEOUS INFORMATION
