Sund & Bælt cancels two tenders

Due to delays in the construction of the Fehmarnbelt tunnel, Sund & Bælt has decided to cancel two ongoing tenders.

The first tender concerns the Tunnel Track and Catenary (TTC) contract fo the tunnel. The second relates to a contract for new tolling facilities for both the Fehmarnbelt tunnel in Rødbyhavn and the Storebælt link at Halskov. 

Construction of the Fehmarnbelt tunnel is currently delayed by around two years. The background is challenges with the special vessel, which is needed to immerse the tunnel elements. As the completion of the tunnel will therefore be postponed, the need for a tolling facility and the commissioning of the rail systems will also shift accordingly. By cancelling the two tender, Sund & Bælt is also avoiding a financial risk that could arise due to the current uncertainities in the schedule. 

Sund & Bælt will prepare a new overall schedule for the entire Fehmarnbelt project after the first tunnel elements have been immersed. Both contracts are expected to be retendered at a later stage.
