Naming of BLUE WATER DOKKEN


On 5 October, the inauguration of the rebuilt Stadionhal (sports hall) in Esbjerg will take place. The transformation of the old hall into an ultramodern sports hall with room for 3,000 spectators totalled almost DKK 60 million. Here the spectators will in particular be able to enjoy top class men's and ladies' handball in the Danish Premier League which is among the best in the world. The rebuilding project is based on the men's team, Ribe-Esbjerg HH, and the ladies' team, Team Esbjerg, which are both sponsored by Blue Water.

The sports hall is next-door neighbour to the most impressive football stadium in Denmark, Blue Water Arena, THE HOME GROUND OF EFB/ESBJERG FOOTBALL CLUB WHICH IS NOW BACK IN THE DANISH PREMIER LEAGUE.

The new sports hall will bear the name Blue Water Dokken because Blue Water Shipping and Pedersen Gruppen, who is behind the "Dokken" project in the port of Esbjerg, have decided to be its name sponsors for the next three years.

This is a good solution for all parties involved - the clubs, the sponsors and the town - says mayor Johnny Søtrup.

Bjarne Pedersen from Pedersen Gruppen is pleased with the joint sponsorship:

"Pedersen Gruppen and Blue Water Shipping are both strongly involved in handball in Esbjerg as joint owners of Team Esbjerg, and it is therefore only natural to have a joint name sponsorship. The name shows that there is a great synergy in handball.
