In total, 5.8 million vehicles were handled last year. The IT system C@RIN supports the logistical service chain from the vehicle manufacturers to the dealers. With more than 2.0 million vehicles per year, Bremerhaven is one of the world’s leading vehicle ports. Following Bremerhaven’s example, Gioia Tauro (southern Italy) has become the vehicle hub for the greater Mediterranean region. The Pre-Delivery Inspection (PDI) is conducted in technical centers. Special equipment is fitted – for example air conditioning systems, navigation systems, leather seats, sunroofs, sports wheels or spoilers. The final manu- facturing of exclusive special series is also part of the service range. Another area is that of high and heavy goods, which are loaded onto or unloaded from ships on their own wheels or on trailers.

Its strong position is based on the Europe-wide terminal concept, expanded by all services associated with container transportation, including feeder services and intermodal networking with the hinterland. The EUROGATE terminal network covers the locations of Bremerhaven, Hamburg, Lisbon, Gioia Tauro, La Spezia, Ravenna, Salerno, Livorno, Cagliari, Tangier, and in future also Wilhelmshaven. The network strategy is confirmed by the terminal’s above-average growth. 14.2 million TEU were turned over in 2008. The strongest locations in the terminal network are Bremerhaven, Gioia Tauro and Hamburg. The planned JadeWeserPort in Wilhelmshaven is an ideal addition to the major German container ports of Bremerhaven and Hamburg.
