Fehmarnbelt Tunnel
An immersed tube subsea tunnel project connecting the Danish island of Lolland with the German island of Fehmarn. It is approximately 18 kilometers long and designed to carry both rail and road traffic in both directions, and upon completion it will be one of the longest immersed tube tunnels in the world.
Timeline (last 90 days)
The Fehmarnbelt Tunnel project was forced to suspend construction due to a cyberattack.
The Fehmarnbelt Tunnel is an immersed tube subsea tunnel connecting the Danish island of Lolland and the German island of Fehmarn.
The Fehmarnbelt Tunnel is about 18 kilometers long and designed as a bidirectional railway and road passage; once completed it will become one of the longest immersed tunnels in the world.
The Fehmarnbelt Tunnel is planned to compress the travel time between Denmark and Germany from the current several-hour detour to the ten-minute level.
A construction suspension may require the contractor to re-coordinate manpower, equipment, and materials, and the delay costs may ultimately be passed on to public finances.
At present, public information about the specific nature, responsible party, and recovery time of the Fehmarnbelt Tunnel cyberattack is still limited.
