I n t r o d u c t i o n The range of Schleswig-Holstein ports is manifold: High performance installations for handling large numbers of passengers, bulk and mixed cargo, as well as of Ro-Ro freight are available in the major sea ports. A consolidated network of regular ferry and freight lines provide continuous service to the Northern European States, as well as to Russia and the Baltic States. Destination and source areas of the products handled in these ports extend from the German industrial centres far into mid-, western- and southern European Sates. Nu- merous regionally important harbours open the waterways for Schleswig-Holstein’s trades and industry, afford unobstructed traffic to the islands and create an essential basis for local fisheries. Schleswig-Holstein’s ports along the Lower Elbe between Hamburg and the North Sea are partly located on junctions of the Elbe and the Kiel Canal. Due to their location, the ports of Brunsbüttel, Glückstadt and Wedel, are ideal partners for Metropolitan Hamburg in managing its streams of goods and traffic by water, rail and road.

  • PRESS RELEASE by SEEHAFEN KIEL Gmbh & Co
    PRESS RELEASE by SEEHAFEN KIEL GmbH & Co. KG Significant volume growth in the seaport of Kiel Cargo transhipment increased by 8.25 % in the first half of the year (Kiel, 13th August 2021) The port of Kiel achieved significant volume growth in the cargo sector in the first half of the year. In the period from the beginning of January to the end of June, a total of 8.25 percent more goods were handled than in the reference period. Ferry traffic grew disproportion- ately and even achieved an increase of 12.7 percent in the number of transhipped trucks and trailers. Dr Dirk Claus, Managing Director PORT OF KIEL: "We are on the right track in the cargo sector. De- clines from the same period last year were more than compensated for in terms of volume." At the same time, however, the pandemic has also had a structural impact on the port business. In cross- border traffic, for example, the number of unaccompanied cargo units increased by a good quarter. Of the 100,000 trucks and trailers handled, more than half were unaccompanied for the first time. The largest increases were recorded on the routes to Gothenburg in Sweden and to Klaipeda in Lithu- ania. In total, 3.66 million tonnes of freight were handled in Kiel in the first half of the year. The strongest part of the port was the Ostuferhafen with the forest products and logistics centre. From there, the ships of the Danish shipping company DFDS, among others, operate nine times a week and thus offer the highest departure frequency from a German port to the Baltic States.
