News from the board meeting

Posted: 26. august 2016

At the meeting on August 26, the Board received a briefing on Metroselskabet's work on the metro line to Sydhavnen. The new Metro line will be connected to the Metro to Nordhavn, so you can travel all the way from Orientkaj in Nordhavn to Ny Ellebjerg in Sydhavnen. The Metro will also connect the new and old Sydhavn and give the whole area a boost with new and modern transportation options. Sydhavnen's new metro line will consist of five new stations from Havneholmen to Ny Ellebjerg and is expected to be ready in 2023.

The Board also received a review of Metroselskabet's latest contract provisions and was pleased to note the inclusion of new social clauses that, for example, include stricter requirements for future contractors and subcontractors in terms of working environment, wages and working conditions. It will also be possible for contractors to gain a competitive advantage if they can deliver excellent health and safety performance. The new contract provisions will form the basis for the tender for the Metro to Sydhavnen.

The Board also received a review of the status of work-related accidents and noted that developments in recent months have taken a more positive direction.
