Following a successful renovation process, the upgraded Atlantkaj in Maniitsoq is now ready for its official opening. The project future-proofs the city’s maritime infrastructure and ensures improved conditions for cargo, passengers, and the business community.
Maniitsoq is taking a crucial step in the development of the city’s and region’s infrastructure with the official opening of the completely renovated Atlantkaj. The main construction contract was completed as early as the end of 2025, and following the final finishing work this spring, the pier is now fully operational with modern pier equipment.
The reopening marks a significant milestone for the municipality, the business community, and maritime connections to and from the city. The modern infrastructure will create significantly better conditions for cargo and passenger handling, support local growth opportunities, and ensure a more resilient supply chain.
Iddimanngiiu Jensen Bianco, Naalakkersuisoq for Housing, Infrastructure, Outlying Districts, and Emergency Preparedness, is attending the official inauguration and states:
“The complete renovation of Atlantkajen is a major boost for Maniitsoq and the region’s maritime infrastructure. I am very pleased with the strong collaboration among all parties involved, which has not only ensured the project’s efficient implementation but also maintained the city’s services throughout the process and supported the city’s development.”
The construction process has been characterized by close and effective collaboration between KJ Construction, Royal Arctic Line, Royal Greenland, and other local stakeholders.
It has required a major and coordinated effort from all parties to establish the new high-capacity pier with future-proof facilities. It is precisely this collaboration that has been crucial in ensuring that supplies to Maniitsoq have been maintained despite the inevitable disruptions caused by the extensive renovation work.
Practical Information The official dedication ceremony will take place on July 6, 2026, at 3:30 p.m. at Atlantkajen in Maniitsoq. Everyone is welcome to attend the ceremony.
