Objectives 2012

At the Port of Aalborg we have set-up some short-term objectives, which we work towards completing in 2012. The Port is focused on reducing our consumption of electricity on our cranes, buildings, roads and areas.

In addition, in 2012 our focus is also on health. We are buying bikes which our employees can use for transportation on our areas - getting them to use some muscle power instead of horse power. We also work towards getting a bicycle path which goes all the way to the East Harbour, in order to motivate our employees to leave the car at home and take the Co2 neutral bicycle instead.
