- Copenhagen is considering discontinuing the opening mechanism of the Langebro bascule bridge, which is in need of refurbishment; a consultation has been underway since 9 September.
- Refurbishment including the opening mechanism would cost around 444–461 million kroner and take approximately three years; without the opening mechanism, the cost would be 207–257 million kroner with a construction period of 1.5 years.
- When closed, Langebro offers a clearance height of seven metres; there are currently around 100 bridge openings per year, and from mid-2028 it will no longer be possible to request any further openings.

- On 24 December 1811, HMS ‘St. George’ and HMS ‘Defense’ ran aground off Jutland during a hurricane; nearly 1,400 people died, with only 16 surviving.

- An 11.5-metre-high rudder, discovered during construction work in 2003, is displayed in the museum as the largest exhibit and a memorial to the tragedy.
