4 Germany’s Seaports 2011 Welcome

The German seaports play a vital part in the economy as a whole. They are important hubs in international transport chains, securing the necessary links between German industry and global markets. Competition between the seaports ensures high quality and low access costs to international maritime transport.

The German seaports are indispensable for German’s export-driven economy. They help to safeguard jobs and boost value creation in this country.

Germany’s ports have undoubtedly beneﬁ ted greatly from globalization, handling a record of 318 million tons in 2008. But the global crisis has hit the seaports harder than the economy as a whole. Recovery is now in progress, and we expect the total handling volume in our seaports to reach about 295 million tons once again in 2011. This conﬁ rms that we were right in our assessment of globalization as an irreversible process.

In that record year of 2008, German maritime cargo handling grew so much that it strained transport capacity to and from the ports to the limits. We have to make use of the present breathing space to prepare our seaports for future growth, making sure that they can handle increasing quantities with improved seaward approaches and hinterland connections. We welcome the top-priority status now given by Germany’s Federal Government to implement a National Port Concept calling for the expansion and modernization of port approaches and transport infrastructure.

6 Germany’s Seaports 2011 Europe’s Leading Economy

Even through the economic downturn and corresponding slump in global trade, Germany’s EUR 2.4 trillion economy remained a bulwark. It is Europe’s largest by far, generating about 20% of the EU 27 entire economic output. Germany’s afﬂ uent 82 million-strong population is Europe’s largest consumer market. Its innovation-driven economy is an engine for the rest of the continent – and that engine is now ﬁ ring on all cylinders.

Now that recovery is on the horizon, Germany is leading the way once again. Figures released in August of 2010 showed that the German economy exceeded even the most op- timistic forecasts, boasting quarterly growth of 2.2% – the most robust fi g- ures seen since reunifi cation 20 years ago. Strong domestic and foreign demand coupled with dynamic trends in trade and capital formation were all sustainable driving forces in this development.

Though ports throughout the world have been challenged by the effects of the dramatic economic slowdown, Germany’s ports have been among the ﬁ rst to emerge with strong re- sults across all sectors and maritime regions.

Germany is home to two of the EU’s Container Throughput in Comparison (2005–2009) top four ports. Hamburg occupied mn TEUs the number two spot in Europe for 12 years until the global downturn. Given 2010 growth rates, it is in- 10 creasingly likely that Hamburg will reclaim the number two spot; Bremen/Bremerhaven claims the 8 number four spot. The already superlative German seaport infra- 6 structure will be bolstered by a deep-water port “JadeWeserPort” 4 in Wilhelms haven that will commence operations in 2012 following 2 a nearly EUR 1 billion investment.

The largest and most modern of container Asia, and for feeder trafﬁ c to northern Europe, Russia, carriers will be able to load and unload at JadeWeserPort. Scandinavia and the Baltics.

The port will also serve as a hub for combined transport, with excellent rail and road links, plus a 160-hectare logistics service center and a freight village. The port’s six rail tracks and ﬁ ve rail-loading cranes will be fronted by a 16-track marshalling yard linking the port to points throughout Europe. Additionally, the A29 highway terminates right outside the port development – trucks can run straight from the highway to the port without ever encountering a trafﬁ c light.

Construction to be completed by mid-2013 will allow ships with a draught of 16.5 meters access to the existing port at Wilhelmshaven. Operations are slated to commence with the 1,000 m quay in August 2012.

36 Germany’s Seaports 2011 The Seaport of Brake is actually two ports on the left bank of the Weser river. The legacy port area houses the breakbulk and agri-terminals. It features warehouse and open-storage facilities as well as a 1,700 meter-long pier and four berths for seagoing vessels. Turnover, Sea- and Inland Port of Brake (2000–2009) MMRT The so-called Niedersachsen-Quay started operation in 7 August 2009. It is the port’s northern extension and re-

presents both the port’s future and a signifi cant expansion 6 of breakbulk handling capacity. Boasting a 270-meter quay facility, a 100,000 m² terminal and the commensurate equipment, the port is slated to also offer 450 meters of 5 quay space for large seagoing vessels once expansion is completed in 2011. Currently, 75 hectares of industrial 4 space is available to the fi rms whose production and fi nishing capabilities go hand in hand with port turnover. 3

The port has beneﬁ ted from growing demand for the handling of large iron and steel shipments, and im- 2 provements are being made in accordance with this

The MMRT Port’s secure handling and storage areas offer ﬂ ood- proof turnover of bulk and general cargo on a tide- 7 independent channel capable of accommodating large seagoing vessels. The region around the Elbe and Weser rivers complement the port with an excellent 6 inland infrastructure.

A multitude of ﬁ rms offer a full range of port and trans- 5 port-related services, making Stade a standout among Niedersachsen’s ports. Among the service offerings are customs clearance, mooring, turnover and storage of bulk 4 and general cargo, towing and hazardous goods transport.

3 The northern section of Stade port is dedicated to bauxite ofﬂ oading, as well as the loading of aluminum oxide and

liquid aluminum hydroxide. The inner harbor can service 2 ships with a closed conveyor system that runs from the port storage directly to the ship. Ships of up to 5,000 tons in capacity can be accommodated with this system; larger 1 ships can be considered for service with advanced notice.

Emden is also a prime service provider to the offshore wind energy industry. High-value, technologically advanced German-made wind energy components are loaded at Emden and shipped throughout the world; rotor blades and complete offshore wind power stations are built and shipped out of Emden.

Trafﬁ c-free autobahn access allows easy access to Ger- many and Holland’s inland waterways and fully electri- ﬁ ed rail connections from each quay. This underscores Emden’s advantages.

42 Germany’s Seaports 2011 The port of Nordenham is situated directly on the deep-water shipping channel of the Weser, which also connects the port to Europe’s major inland waterways. Nordenham boasts docking facilities that are fully rail-integrated; its City Terminal is optimally equipped with links to the electric railway network, and it is connected to Germany’s incomparable autobahn network via state highway 212.

Nordenham is Germany’s second-largest point of entry for coal imports, handling upwards of 2 million tons of coal annually. This volume is ex pected only to increase as incentives for domestic coal production are slowly phased out, and coal imports from Russia and Poland are in higher demand by the region’s major providers of electricity.

The port of Nordenham also features specialized facilities sawmill and drying kilns for the immediate processing for the handling of a variety of liquid cargo, forest products of wood and lumber ofﬂ oaded at the port.

Rostock’s latest incarnation as a universal port with strong ties to Scandinavia, the Baltic States and Russia has been fueled by over EUR 100 million in investment made in the port’s infrastructure since German reuni- Since reunifi cation, the port has been transformed through fi cation. In 2009, total turnover at the port reached a series of upgrades, equipping it with a modern oil port, 21.5 millions tons and 2.1 million passengers. dry bulk handling facilities, and terminals for general cargo export. The port’s strengths lie in ferry and roll- on/roll-off traffi c. Ro-ro turnover reached 1.5 million tons in 2009, much of it is attributed to paper imports from Finland. Rostock is also an important transshipment point for building materials, fertilizer and grains, and up to 20,000 tons of coal are discharged daily at two specialized berths.

The ﬂ ow of goods from the port is eased by direct transit connections. The A20 highway runs from Berlin right onto the port grounds, rail lines connect the port to inland destinations through Magdeburg and Berlin, and liquid cargo can be expedited through pipelines running to the industrial areas of Schwedt and Böhlen/Leuna.
