Recently, it has been suggested that consent should be given so restaurant ships can be moored in Nyhavn but it was not clear if that meant, in effect, extensions out onto the water from the existing restaurants and their kitchens or new and separate businesses.

How could the services such as power and waste disposal work and would the ships have toilets or would diners use toilets in the buildings and would this all be along the north quay or along both sides?

It strikes me as trying to wring every last kroner of profit out of the harbour that is already under pressure.

I’ve eaten several times at the Færge Cafe in Christianshavn. They have a boat, moored just on the quay there by the bridge, as an additional space for their dining room, and that is very good and very pleasant but in part that has ben allowed because there is no space for tables on the quay itself and, anyway, just because someone else has done it and been successful, that should not be grounds for planning consent for the same anywhere and everywhere.

If any quay has the space for more restaurants on the water then it might be Kalvebod Brygge - down from Langebro - and could be part of the proposed policy to persuade tourists to try areas other than the obvious ones but even there it would have to be through a specific and well argued application.
