The report concerns Femern A/S’ and the Ministry of Transport’s management of the planning phase of the Femern Belt Link leading up to the signing of the main tunnel contracts.
The purpose of the study is to assess whether the Ministry of Transport and Femern A/S have managed the Femern Belt Link planning phase in a satisfactory manner. The report answers the following questions:
- Did Femern A/S’ management of the planning phase take into account the duration of the German authorities’ approval process?
- Did the Ministry of Transport perform its tasks in the planning phase in a satisfactory manner?
It is Rigsrevisionen’s assessment that the Ministry of Transport and Femern A/S’ management of the planning phase of the Femern Belt Link has not been entirely satisfactory. The consequence is that the Ministry of Transport and Femern A/S have taken unnecessary financial risks in relation to the tunnel tenders.
Rigsrevisionen initiated the study in March 2021.
