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 global- ization as an irreversible process. In that record year of 2008, German maritime cargo handling grew so much that it strained transport ca- pacity 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.
