The Fehmarnbelt Fixed Link Project is constructing the World’s longest immersed tunnel between Lolland in Denmark and Fehmarn in Germany.

Fehmarn Belt Contractors

The leading dredging and marine contractors Boskalis and Van Oord from the Netherlands have joined forces in the consortium Fehmarn Belt Contractors (FBC), which is responsible for various activities related to the construction of the 18 kilometre long Fehmarnbelt Tunnel.

The activity scope for FBC includes the construction of a new work harbour for the tunnel factory in Rødbyhavn, dredging the 18 kilometre long tunnel trench across the Fehmarnbelt and construct a harbour on the Fehmarn side. The dredged material from the tunnel trench will be reused to create new recreational nature areas on both the Danish and German side. 

About the Fehmarn Belt Link project

The Fehmarnbelt link will be an 18 kilometre long immersed tunnel. It will be the world’s longest of its type for both road and rail. The Fehmarnbelt tunnel will comprise a four lane motorway and two electrified rail tracks.

The tunnel will consist of 79 individual elements, each 217 metres long, and 10 special elements with a lower floor for tunnel operations and maintenance equipment.

It will take approximately 8.5 years to build the Fehmarnbelt link. Once completed it will take 10 minutes to travel from Denmark to Germany by car and 7 minutes by train.
