The roughly five-kilometre long quay on the River Weser has sufficient water depths for seagoing vessels and can accommodate the largest container vessels in the world. In the competition for container volumes and shipping lines, the port has consistently defended its 4th position in the European ranking for years. i page 48 6 7 World-class automotive hub Reliable handling, sophisticated logistics, comprehensive technical services with high quality standards, excellent rail and road connections – these facts sum up the automotive terminal in Bremerhaven. The European market leader has operating areas and parking space for 120 000 cars. i page 50 8 9 Ideal hinterland connections, a large number of specialist companies, extensive handling and storage sites as well as crane capacities that can cope with practically any requirements have earned Bremen a leading position amongst the European project and break bulk terminals. i page 32 Bremen – the port of choice for break bulk 10 11 A class of its own – bulk goods in Bremen Bremen is one of the leading ports that still handle conventional ocean freight such as coffee and cocoa. But the important segment of cargo handling also includes building materials, fertilisers and feedstuffs, grain, ores, mineral oil as well as coal and coke. The location’s trump cards are special equipment, first-class handling and universal expertise. i page 34 12 13 Flagship European logistics location There is no doubt about it: Bremen is one of the leading logistics locations on the continent. A booming container and automotive hub, a freight village that is respected throughout Europe, major logistics and distribution centres as well as excellent scientific and training institutes all speak for themselves. The logistics sector accounts directly and indirectly for some 75 000 jobs in the region. i page 28 14 15 The future is green The ecological concepts of Bremen's ports may be highly diverse, but their objective is clear: to keep the environmental impact of port operations and maritime logistics to a minimum impact. The disposal of shipboard waste and the provision of substitute sites for quay and lock construction projects are just two good examples. Alternative energy concepts – such as the planned construction of an LPG filling station in Bremerhaven – round off the list of green port activities. i page 63 Water depths that can accommodate seagoing vessels, excellent infra structure, a powerful industrial cluster – Bremerhaven can offer the wind energy industry ideal conditions. A loading zone for large-scale components on the banks of the Weser will be available by 2016. At the 25-hectare Offshore Terminal Bremerhaven (OTB), wind energy plants will be pre-assembled, stored and transhipped. i page 56 16 Well equipped for wind energy 17 Logistics expertise 18 Bremen and Bremerhaven stand for first-class competence when it comes to the qualification, further education and training of a specialist workforce for the port, logistics and transport industries. Five colleges and universities and more than 150 research institutes not only teach professional subjects, but also provide solid basic education. Over 1000 port and logistics companies provide vocational training in more than 80 different occupations for their own requirements. i page 60 19 Services at a glance > Container handling and various related services, such as c ontainer leasing and stuffing, repairs, container depot and hinterland transport organisation > Organising and handling road and rail collection and delivery The Bremen/Bremer haven Maritime Logistics Centre The Ports of Bremen and Bremerhaven 20 Bremen ranks amongst the most important universal ports in Europe and the terminals in Bremen and Bremerhaven can handle virtually every kind of freight: containers and cars, general and bulk cargo, dangerous goods and project cargo. Moreover, Columbus Cruise Center in Bremerhaven is one of the most modern and efficient terminals for handling cruise liners. The assets of the maritime logistics centre of Bremen/Bremerhaven are many and diverse: excellent overseas and hinterland connections, profound logistics expertise, outstanding communications and IT competence, a highly qualified and motivated workforce as well as countless opportunities for specialist and advanced training. tainer vessels, car carriers and refrigerated fruit vessels and is responsible for roughly 80 per cent of the total freight throughput of the ports. Wind energy is another sector which is becoming increasingly important. Thanks to water depths for seagoing vessels, excellent infrastructure and the systematic development of a highly efficient industrial cluster, Bremerhaven looks set to become one of the primary European centres of the wind energy industry. Bremen-City, on the other hand, specialises in conventional break bulk and heavy-lift cargo (e.g. project cargo, steel and steel products, wood and wood products) and handling bulk commodities (e.g. ores, coal and grain). An efficient network of logistics providers means that the ports of Bremen can offer a wide range of value-added services that cover The clear division of labour between the twin ports is one of their distinguishing features and all aspects of container logistics. also one of the key factors for their success.

The first fully equipped harbour basins, complete with cranes, sheds and railway tracks, date back towards the end of the 19th century. Bremen’s first free port – Freihafen I (Europahafen) – was inaugurated in 1888 and was the largest and most modern harbour anywhere in the world at that time. In 1877, a group of merchants founded Bremer LagerhausGesellschaft (BLG) as a central location where they could store their wares close to the water, instead of their being spread all over the city. The venture proved to be a successful business idea and in 1888 BLG was entrusted with the operation of the entire new free port. Bremen soon flourished thanks to its large harbour, 11:27 Uhr Hemelinger Hafen, which is located above the Weser weir and was developed as „Weserhafen Hemelingen”, handles more than 20 per cent of the total throughput resulting from inland shipping at the ports of Bremen. Seite 1 25 Bremen’s city ports are specialists for handling conventional break bulk and heavy lift cargo. Bulk goods are also handled here. Numerous logistics centres are based in Bremen, together with Germany’s leading Freight Village. past 12.03.2013 Coffee, cocoa, feedstuffs and other bulk goods are handled at Holz- und Fabrikenhafen, while Getreidehafen attends to the discharge of grain. Bremen, Germany Atlanta, USA which offered a full range of services from one single source. Further harbour basins were gradually added: Freihafen II (Überseehafen), Holz- und Fabriken-, Getreide-, Industriehafen and Neustädter Hafen, as well as Hemelinger Hafen for inland shipping.

The freight village in the immediate vicinity is one of the city’s flagship projects and served as the model for dozens of similar facilities in Germany and the rest of Europe. Bremen’s freight village currently holds second place in the European ranking and continues to lead the field in Germany. Home to more than 50 companies, Industriehafen accounts for around half the total cargo throughput in the city of Bremen. The ocean freight handled here ranges from steel and steel products to timber, project cargo, containers, automotive and industrial plant components right through to bulk commodities, such as ore for steel production, mineral oil, construction materials and waste products. The power station at the port also benefits from the opportunity to use the separate coal handling terminal. motorway junction Bremen-Industriehäfen Weserhafen Hemelingen i page 39 railway station Bremen Industriehafen es W er ArcelorMittal Bremen Industriehäfen i page 34 railroad shunting yard 27 WESER motorway junction BremenÜberseestadt motorway junction Bremen-Hemelingen A 281 (under construction) 1 The Ports of Bremen Neustädter Hafen i page 32 Holz- und Fabrikenhafen i page 38 Überseestadt i page 37 Eu GVZ i page 28 High-bay warehouse i page 30 ro p ah Airport i page 40 af en freight terminal Roland Umschlag main station railway station Rablinghausen Hohentorshafen i page 37 Logistics center i page 31 The ports of Bremen 27 Getreidehafen The Ports of Bremen 26 281 281 The business community in Germany’s smallest Federal Land boasts a highly diverse range of companies in the field of transport and logistics. Bremen’s logistics providers offer their customers not only international land and sea transport, but also a wide selection of services in the contract logistics segment, primarily food, beverages and tobacco, automotive, wood products, consumer goods and aerospace. A total of approx. 1 278 hectares of industrial sites are available for logistics services in Bremen.

Yet it all begin quite unspectacularly: in1985, six logistics companies in the Bremen district of Niedervieland joined forces as part of a nationwide pilot project aimed at making more use of rail for the carriage of freight. Initially the subject of controversial debate, Bremen’s freight village has meanwhile evolved into the most successful project of its kind in Ger- many. With 150 enterprises and a workforce of more than 8 000 specialists, it is now the hub of one of the major industrial locations in the region. This logistics cluster is generally regarded as a role model. This is also evident from an in-depth survey which compared freight villages throughout Europe: the freight village in Bremen ranked second amongst the 70 locations which were examined in detail, confirming its rightful place in the “Champions League”. In addition to the extensive sites available for logistics, transport, handling, storage and service-sector enterprises, its great competitive advantage is attributable not least to the excellent transport infrastructure with intermodal terminal and extremely efficient networking capacities. The focal point of the freight village is its intermodal terminal, which combines road, rail and inland waterway. These are rounded off by the facilities at nearby Bremen Airport. With a total area of approx. 500 hectares and approx. 1.2 million m2 indoor area for logistics, production and wholesale, Bremen’s freight village offers attractive premises for the transport and forwarding business with excellent synergy potential. The usage concept is specially geared to production and wholesale companies from the food, beverage and tobacco sector with high logistics requirements. > www.gvz-bremen.de Bremen High-Bay Warehouse Storage capacity: 200 000 pallets in high bays Logistics Centres in Bremen 30 The three towers of the high-bay warehouse soar majestically above all the surrounding buildings in Bremen’s freight village: each is 146 metres long, 70 metres wide and 42 metres high. Development of the 120 000 m² site began in 2002 and it is meanwhile one of the largest and most modern logistics complexes in Europe, a network hub for millions of pallets carrying goods to and from the warehouses for Tchibo. In keeping with the company’s slogan „A new world every week”, the high-bay warehouse supplies a constantly changing range of merchandise to more than 50 000 sales outlets in Germany and Europe and also attends to replacement deliveries. Most of the goods arrive from overseas in containers, some already on pallets, others as break bulk in cardboard boxes. Palletised goods are inspected and transferred to the fully automatic high-bay warehouse via electric overhead conveyors. Loose goods first pass through an automatic palletising station. The high-bay warehouse handles more than 1.5 million pallets per annum, attending to storage and order picking in accordance with the customer’s instructions. The goods are then taken by truck directly to the Tchibo branches in the north of Germany or to regional distribution centres, or deliveries are alternatively handled via the parcel centre. 60 000 m2 in flat storage sheds times and are then allocated a specific time slot. The high-bay warehouse in Bremen is meanwhile a virtually fully automated logistics systems, as the goods themselves already determine the processes. On a seemingly endless two-level network of conveyor belts, the cardboard boxes hurtle towards the „marriage station”, where automatic palletising equipment rapidly creates stable blocks of goods in accordance with the prescribed alternating layer system. This allows a throughput of 4 500 cartons or 110 pallets per hour. The palletised goods then undergo a contour inspection and are labelled before the overhead conveyor system takes them to one of the three high-bay towers, where automatic rack operating equipment takes over the pallets and puts them into storage. A central computer monitors each movement. The warehouse towers can accommodate 200 000 pallets. The BLG Logistics Group is currently investing more than EUR 50 million in preparation for the takeover of logistics services for Tchibo's online business, which is also to be handled at the high-bay warehouse in Bremen as from 2014. To cope with the new volumes, the expansion involves an automated small-parts warehouse, a sorting building and conveyor bridges linked to the high-bay warehouse. The company has also invested in technical An intelligent control system, inclusive of equipment including a total of 17 kilometres identification and communication processes, of conveyors as well as complex IT.

Trucks submit currently being installed. advance notice of their estimated arrival Logistics centres for the Automobile industry Two large logistics centres in Bremen’s freight village provide a complete range of services for the automobile industry. Vehicle parts and components from manufacturers and approx. 300 suppliers are delivered by rail or road to the logistics centres, where they are inspected and stored according to individual article. All these items are intended for the assembly lines of German manufacturers overseas. The logistics providers in Bremen put together the required assortment of parts, pack them in containers and ship them to the destination countries in accordance with the instructions of the production plant. The primary destinations are South Africa, North and South America and a few Asian countries. Tasks handled by the logistics companies in Bremen include the pre-assembly of structural components and the preservation of vehicle parts; they also ensure that glued bodywork parts are cured properly. Supplies to the overseas assembly lines are executed either part-by-part or CKD (completely knocked down). In part-by-part shipment, identical components are compiled to form complete container loads, whereas in CKD the entire components for six vehicles are combined as one container load. Automobile manufacturers assemble vehicles overseas in order to avoid high duties for the import of finished vehicles or to satisfy national regulations on „local content” in the recipient countries. 31 Assembly is managed in response to demand, which means that the pace is constantly changing. The logistics service packages include managing and monitoring all flows of goods and data (supply chain management) and cover the entire supply chain, from purchasing and transport to value-added services. The principle is subject to a continuous improvement process, as the manufacturers impose increasingly stringent requirements on the logistics providers. Cars currently consist of approx. 3 000 individual parts, but that number is expected to be reduced to just a few hundred in future in order to make assembly far more efficient. The suppliers and logistics companies will then be responsible for a greater share of pre-assembly and component manufacture. Automotive manufacturers bank on outsourcing to increase productivity and improve quality whilst simultaneously reducing costs. This also enables them to operate more flexibly. They save investments in logistics, avoid supply bottlenecks and have variable instead of fixed costs, so that outsourcing their logistics activities achieves lean production. Logistics Centres in Bremen Bremen High-Bay Warehouse 30 000 m2 in multipurpose sheds Terminals in Bremen Neustädter hafen 33 Neustädter Hafen Quay length: 2 400 m Water depth: up to 11.0 m Throughput 2012: 4.3 million tonnes Neustädter Hafen is one of the main conventional cargo centres in the north of Europe. The service portfolio is aimed primarily at project cargo, iron and steel products, forest products, handling containers and heavy-lift with a floating crane which can cope with weights of up to 650 tonnes. The customers of Neustädter Hafen also use the 260 000 m² covered area and 800 000 m² outdoor area for long-term intermediate storage of their products. The facilities enable them to assemble large components on quays which are accessible by seagoing vessels and thus optimise preproduction processes. One of the crucial factors for the success of Neustädter Hafens is that it pools all the benefits of a universal port at one single terminal complex. This harbour handles roughly four million tonnes of cargo per annum. The most recent harbour to go into operation on the left bank of the Weser was inaugurated in 1965 and consists of Hafenbecken II, a turning basin in front of the harbour, numerous vast sheds and extensive outdoor storage areas. An old cog dating back to the Hanseatic era was discovered when the harbour basin was dredged in the 1960s. As the classical merchant vessels from that age were previously only known from drawings, the discovery of an original vessel was hailed as a scientific and historic sensation. The vessel remains were carefully preserved, missing parts added and the finished product can now be seen in the permanent exhibition at the German Maritime Museum in Bremerhaven. Terminals in Bremen Terminals in Bremen 32 In addition to numerous cargo handling companies, Industriehafen is also home to forwarding, manufacturing and food-pro cessing businesses. It also offers a wide range of services over and above cargo handling. Container services are an important element and range from stuffing and stripping, goods handling inclusive of labelling, order picking, assembly, repair and inventories management, right through to container leasing, cleaning and supply. Customised containers are also produced and marketed. There are also many companies at Industriehafen which specialise in packaging export goods for land and ocean transport. They provide expert packaging not only for ordinary export goods, but also for entire industrial plants. The growth sector of wind energy has also made its mark on Industriehafen: the Ambau company in Kap-Horn-Strasse recently began consolidating the steel tower segments for wind turbines. The diverse activities at Industriehafen are not only evident from the heterogeneous mix of companies, but also in the ownership situation. Roughly three quarters of the land sites and a small proportion of the water areas are privately owned. The remaining areas are owned by the Federal Land of Bremen and, in most cases, rented or leased to private companies. In recent years, the companies located here have made substantial investments in their buildings and equipment and optimised > Industriehafen Quay length: 4 150 m Water depth: currently up to 34 10.0 m, after adjustment 10.5 m 35 6.4 million tonnes Kap-Horn-Hafen Quay length: 395 m Water depth: 8.5 m Werfthafen Quay length: 1 360 m industriehafen Water depth: 6.7 m incl. Kap-Horn-Hafen, Werfthafen, Mittelsbürener Hafen Mittelsbürener Hafen Quay length: 340 m Water depth: up to 11.0 m With more than 50 business enterprises located on an area of 390 hectares, total annual throughput of just over 6.8 million tonnes, around 2 400 directly and roughly 600 indirectly related jobs, the facts and figures for Industriehafen are highly impressive. Virtually all kinds of ocean freight can be loaded and discharged at the quays here: building materials, timber and mineral oil, steel and steel products, containers, project cargo as well as automotive and industrial plant components. It is thanks to Industriehafen that Bremen has succeeded in defending its position as an important location for fish meal and general cargo. Approx. 15 per cent of the total cargo handled at the ports in Bremen and Bremerhaven cross the quays at Industriehafen in the west of Bremen. This figure accounts for half the total throughput in Bremen city. With estimated annual revenues of EUR 2.5 billion, the companies located behind the lock at Oslebshausen make a significant contribution to Bremen’s economy. Terminals in Bremen Terminals in Bremen Throughput 2012: Auto-Terminal Vegesack Industriehafen Auto-Terminal Vegesack Quay length: 320/200 m Water depth: 8.1 m On the premises of the former Vulkan shipyard, Egerland Car Terminal offers a full range of services for the tens of thousands of vehicles that are imported and exported every year. The portfolio includes terminal services, shipbroking and agent services, tally, stevedoring, mooring and storage. The technical services include pre-delivery inspection, dewaxing and preservation, as well as superstructures and conversion. Terminals in Bremen 36 their efficiency – for the benefit of the location, which is one of the key economic factors in the city of Bremen. In 2006, the Weserport company inaugurated a container and shortsea terminal, which handles primarily barges and feeder vessels. Every year, approx. 1 600 seagoing vessels and 3 600 barges call at Industriehafen. To ensure that this remains a cornerstone of Bremen’s port and logistics industry, an ambitious master plan has been drawn up in close cooperation between bremenports and the local companies. It not only reveals growth opportunities and optimisation potential, but also proposes specific measures for revitalising this economic location, such as structural alterations, boosting the service sector, expanding the share of intermodal transport and bundling marketing activities. The first infrastructure project involves widening the entrance to Harbour A and the first pile was ceremoniously driven into place in October 2010. Since then, the sloping embankment on the land side of the harbour has gradually been replaced by a vertical embankment wall. New sheet piling has been installed along a total length of 150 metres. The next projects to safeguard the future of Industriehafen will begin in the course of this year: the harbour basins are to be deepened by half a metre to a total depth of 10.5 metres by 2015, enabling panamax vessels to deliver 15 to 30 per cent more cargo to Bremen. At the same time, the Hüttenhafen basin will be expanded to a width of 46 metres. The seven basins at Industriehafen are located on the right bank of the Weser and are linked to the river by Oslebshausen lock. The narrow Kap Horn harbour forms the border to the Weser. A further harbour, Werfthafen, which was used by the former shipyard AG Weser, is located on the other side of the lock. Waterfront Bremen, a modern shopping centre, and a new industry park have meanwhile been built on the site of the former AG Weser. Mittelsbürener Hafen lies to the north of Industriehafen and is used by ArcelorMittal steelworks to handle bulk goods. Hohentorshafen Überseestadt (Europahafen) Hohentorshafen Quay length: 420 m Water depth: 3.0 m Cargo is no longer handled at Hohentors hafen on the left bank of the Weser. With only a few exceptions, the businesses that operate there – which include shipping companies, a repair yard for barges and several trading firms – are not dependent on closeness to the port. Hohentorshafen evolved from the former Sicherheitshafen and Woltmershausen Canal. Nevertheless, it plays a significant role in the history of Bremen’s ports: Sicherheitshafen, the former safe port for ships to overwinter, is regarded as the birthplace of the BLG Logistics Group. In 1877, this harbour basin offered excellent conditions for estab lishing the first cargo handling company. This area is six times the size of Bremen’s historic Old Town, measures approx. 300 hectares and runs along the bank of the River Weser for a length of five kilometres, from the city centre to the grain facility (Getreideanlage). For the past ten years, this site has seen the development of Bremen’s Überseestadt, one of the most ambitious urban development projects in Germany. The conversion of the old dockland sites on the right bank of the Weser into a modern and vibrant district in the heart of Bremen has created space for trade and industry, service enterprises, cultural and leisure amenities as well as residential properties. With approx. EUR 350 million public development funds and EUR 2 billion from private investors, the project has also set a new benchmark in monetary terms. More than 450 companies with approx. 9 000 employees have meanwhile opted for these attractive waterside premises and the unique flair of this new district. Modern architecture, excellent transport connections and scope for flexible use provide an ideal basis to ensure the ongoing positive development of Bremen’s Überseestadt. > www.ueberseestadt-bremen.de 37 Terminals in Bremen > Weserhafen Hemelingen Weserhafen Hemelingen (only barges and small seagoing vessels) Quay length: 2 600 m in three harbour basins Water depth: 3.5 m The expansion of Weserhafen Hemelingen, located above the Weser weir, began in 1968 in response to the growing volumes of barge traffic. The facilities on the Middle Weser can be accessed regardless of the tide. This harbour deals primarily with dry bulk such as sand and gravel, but also handles steel and metals, scrap and recyclable goods, diverse building materials and coal for the nearby power station in Bremen-Hastedt. Weserhafen Hemelingen is meanwhile responsible for 20 per cent of the total barge cargoes handled by Bremen’s ports. Holz- und Fabrikenhafen incl. getreidehafen Holz- u. Fabrikenhafen 39 Quay length: 2 280 m Water depth: up to 10.0 m Grain, coffee, cocoa, fish meal – these are the commodities that arrive from countries all over the world by ship or rail at Bremen’s Holz- und Fabrikenhafen, where they are transhipped, stored or processed right there on the spot. Thanks to its convenient position close to the city centre and a water depth which permits access by seagoing vessels, Holz- und Fabrikenhafen is an excellent location for production companies and for the renewable energy and service sectors. the way through to production, including documentation and customs clearance, container tracking and tracing. The J. Müller Weser company at Holz- und Fabrikenhafen, for instance, provides comprehensive services for the coffee, cocoa and agricultural industry in Germany and other European countries. The trimodal container terminal tranships and processes green coffee and cocoa containers before loading them onto trucks, trains or barges. The silos and flat storage capacities can hold more than 100 000 tonnes of top quality unprocessed goods. J. Müller Weser also organises the logistics for raw goods from the seaport all Both the terminals operated by Hansakai Umschlagbetriebe load and unload bulk and general cargo (including coffee and forest products) as well as heavy-lift and dry bulk. The company also offers a wide range of logistics services, including the storage and repair of empty containers for shipping companies.

The seaport is moreover one of the leading European automotive hubs and is evolving into a key port for the offshore wind energy industry. Bremerhaven – Container, cars and innovations Bremerhaven is 32 nautical miles from the open sea, which means a trip of roughly twoand-a-half hours up the estuary. The port can be accessed by vessels with a draught of up to 12.8 metres irrespective of the tides. The terminal handles mainly containerised and rolling cargo. The international port of Bremerhaven consists of: >the Container Terminal, which has under- gone four expansion projects and now has a total length of almost five kilometres >Columbuskaje, the terminal for cruise liners, fruit carriers and general cargo > Kaiserhafen I, II and III Fischereihafen is situated in the south of Bremerhaven. This is not only the harbour where fish is landed and processed, but also where building materials are loaded and unloaded. It has also attracted companies which construct wind farm components, as well as the Fraunhofer Institute for Wind Energy and Energy System Technology (IWES). > Verbindungshafen (oil terminal) and > Osthafen and Nordhafen 45 Past In 1827, the city of Bremen purchased 84 hectares of land at the mouth of the Weser from the Kingdom of Hanover in order to build a „Bremer Haven”, i.e. a harbour for Bremen. This had become necessary because the River Weser had silted up and was no longer navigable by large seagoing vessels all the way to Bremen. Initially, the new harbour was not very successful, as Bremen’s merchants preferred to load and unload their wares in the city rather than at the mouth of the river. Nevertheless, the construction of Bremerhaven was to prove a milestone for Bremen’s maritime development. and 1950. This required the construction of more harbour basins, and in 1872 work started on the harbours known as Kaiserhäfen. They were later joined by Kaiserschleuse lock and the predecessor of Lloyd shipyard, followed by the 347-metre long Nordschleuse lock and Nordhafen. The legendary Columbuskaje was built on the banks of the Weser in 1928. The onset of container transport in the late 1960s opened up totally new prospects for Bremerhaven, when the first container ships came to Bremen across the Atlantic and sailed their way to victory on all the seven seas. At the same time, specially designed vessels with large ramps began to take rolling cargo directly on board. Both these methods In 1847, the paddle steamer „George Washing- afforded enormous potential for rationalisation ton” sailed into Bremerhaven, marking the and were therefore immediately successful. start of a regular postal service across the The new systems meant that the ports had to Atlantic. From then on, things developed offer new facilities – specialist terminals with at breakneck speed: Norddeutscher Lloyd large gantry cranes and extensive operating shipping company inaugurated a transatlantic areas. Room for such facilities was scarce in passenger service with the „Bremen”. The Bremen. Moreover, the ships were becoming new port soon became established as a Euro- increasingly larger. Accordingly, in 1968 the pean centre for passenger and emigration decision was taken to build the new facilities shipping, which had its heyday between 1850 in Bremerhaven.

Container Terminals 49 Quay length: 4 930 m Terminals in Bremerhaven As from summer 2013, Maersk's Triple-E class ships – the largest container carriers – will call at the terminal in Bremerhaven. These giants are roughly 400 metres long and can hold around 18 000 TEU (standard containers). To improve the nautical conditions for these mega-vessels in the Outer Weser, the navigation channel is to be deepened by approx. one metre. 14 berths for mega-container vessels Outdoor operating area: approx. 3 million m2 Covered storage area: 30 000 m2 Refrigerated area: 8 000 m2 Water depth: 12.6 – 15.0 m In the central section of the enormous port area, the Bremen Eurogate company operates a multi-user terminal for a number of shipping companies, offering a full range of container services as a one-stop shop. The portfolio includes, for instance, container depot, maintenance & repair, connections for refrigerated and frozen cargo containers, container transport by rail, road and inland waterway, as well as logistics services for containerised goods. Operations at the south of the container terminal are the responsibility of the jointventure company MSC Gate, which handles the vessels of the Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC), the world’s second-largest container shipping company. MSC’s partner in this joint venture is again Eurogate. Such joint ventures correspond to the shipping companies’ endeavours to safeguard terminal capacities at coastal locations throughout the The joint-venture company North Sea Terminal world to ensure that they can comply with their Bremerhaven (NTB) is located in the northern global sailing schedules.

Bremerhaven gradually evolved from an export terminal to a world-class automobile hub. In peak years, more than two million vehicles cross the quays here. The Auto Terminal has enough operating and storage area for 120 000 cars, incl. covered storage for 45 000. well over 100 000 „German” vehicles, e.g. from BMW and Mercedes, are imported into Europe through Bremerhaven every year. In addition to the outdoor sites, there are also several multi-storey car parks available for vehicle storage, each of which can offer 6 000 cars protection from the elements. The products supplied by European manufacturers are exported via Bremerhaven primarily to destinations in the USA, East Asia and the Middle East, while the imports come mainly from Japan, Korea and the USA. The German automobile manufacturers dispatch their exports either fully or partly via Bremerhaven. Most of the export vehicles arrive in the port on block trains. Following the relocation of production plants to the USA, Another core business sector is „high & heavy” cargo, i.e. large, heavy or bulky vehicles, or ro-ro trailers that are pre-loaded at the terminal. Examples of this kind of heavy cargo are rail wagons, yachts, trucks, buses, combine harvesters, construction machinery and cranes. The export and import also includes transhipment: cars for which Bremerhaven is not the Outdoor area: 470 000 m2 of which covered: 360 000 m 2 Covered storage area: 20 000 m2 15 berths for car carriers Automobile throughput 2012: Osthafen 2.2 million units Quay length: 1 200 m final destination are unloaded from overseas car carriers and then taken by smaller feeder vessels to ports which are not accessible by the larger ships. Specialists at the Auto Terminal’s technical centres deal with several hundred thousand cars per annum. The cars are first dewaxed and cleaned, before undergoing a pre-delivery inspection. Minor damage in transit is repaired and the vehicles are then retrofitted if necessary to comply with licensing regulations in the individual destination countries. Any additional features ordered by the customer, such as sunroofs, satellite navigation systems, air-conditioning, leather seats, designer wheel rims or spoilers, are installed in Bremerhaven. Special series also undergo final assembly here at the terminal; for companies which normally produce vehicles in large series, this is cheaper than doing so themselves. The unique strong point of Bremerhaven’s Auto Terminal is the complex range of services available there. Four crucial factors account for its success: top quality, continuous logistics, good transport connections and full service. It is a question of offering organisation, management and control of the entire transport chain as well as all related service elements. The Auto Terminal boasts certified quality throughout the entire chain. 51 Terminals in Bremerhaven Terminals in Bremerhaven 50 Auto Terminal (Kaiserhäfen II & III, Nordhafen, Osthafen) Fruit Terminals Verbindungshafen + Columbuskaje Quay length: 600 m Total area: 68 000 m2 + 26 000 m2 (of which covered storage area: 13 000 m2) Cold stores: 2 500 + 28 000 m2 Water depth: up to 11.3 m Facilities: > 5 berths with water depths of up to 11.3 m > 90 reefer container hook-ups Throughput 2012: 220 000 t fruit Terminals in Bremerhaven 52 The two dedicated fruit terminals at Kaiserhafen Columbuskaje in Bremerhaven provide Germany and other European countries with a reliable supply of fruit and vegetables from overseas. Every year, more than 220 000 tonnes of temperature-controlled goods are handled at these facilities. Special expertise is required for handling such cargo and attending to the climate-controlled storage and distribution of these sensitive products. As the largest cold store in Europe, Bremerhaven is well equipped to do so and is consequently the port of choice for large modern reefer vessels as well as ships carrying fruit in refrigerated containers. fruit terminals and cold store The core business involves the transhipment of bananas coming from South and Central America.

The volume has more than doubled since it first went into operation in 1985, making this the largest commercial cold store in the region. Its location directly next to the container terminal is a geographical advantage for handling import and export orders: it not only eliminates the need for intermediate transport, but also means that the storage, forwarding and distribution processes are all concentrated in one place, together with official requirements such as customs clearance and veterinary inspections. 53 Most of the goods arrive in containers from Asia, the USA, Latin America, New Zealand, Russia and Africa and consist mainly of raw materials for the food industry as well as finished products packed in retail sales units. The stored goods are primarily fish, poultry, meat, fruit and vegetables. The service portfolio of the cold store includes comprehensive import and export logistics services for refrigerated and frozen products. Supply chain management covers everything from overseas production right through to just-in-time delivery to European production plants. In addition to the customary quality certification, this also includes eco-operations certification for the storage of organic produce, for which demand is permanently rising. > www.coldstore.de Terminals in Bremerhaven > Climate-controlled storage for 20 000 pallets Cruise Terminal The cruise business plays a key role for the attractiveness of Bremerhaven as a tourist location, and Columbus Cruise Center Bremerhaven (CCCB) is undeniably one of the most modern and secure passenger terminals in the world. Up to four cruise liners can be handled simultaneously at the approx. 1 000-metre-long quay, in compliance with stringent security and quality standards. Spacious check-in areas and waiting rooms which can accommodate roughly 4 000 passengers, modern equipment for transporting and loading their baggage as well as covered passenger walkways make the CCCB an excellent tourist service and maritime competence centre for passengers, shipping companies, tour operators and ship’s agents.

The roughly 480-hectare multifunctional Fischereihafen site, which is home to around 400 companies with 9 000 employees, is one of the largest industrial sites in the Federal Land of Bremen. There are still many signs that remind visitors that this was once a fishing port. Ship departures 2012: 51 Most frequent callers: MS „Astor“, MS „Artania“, MS „Albatros“ to Scandinavia, the North Sea, the Baltic and the Mediterranean. In 2012, 51 cruise liners called at Columbuskaje and 60 000 passengers embarked and disembarked. A large number of medium-sized companies process fresh fish and seafood alongside big names such as Frozen Fish International (Käpt’n Iglo fish fingers), Deutsche See, Frosta and Nordsee. Several logistics companies have also set up business here, for instance packaging and warehousing firms as well as forwarders specialising in reefer transports. In other words, the entire supply chain of the fish industry is represented here at Fischereihafen. Hardly surprising, then, that Bremerhaven ranks amongst the most important locations in Germany for the fish trade. 55 The waterside premises at Fischereihafen are also an attractive option for the booming offshore wind energy industry, as they are ideally equipped to ship the large, heavy wind turbine components. Bremen has already upgraded parts of the quays to make them capable of handling heavy lift cargo. Some parts of the site were filled in with sand and the rail tracks refurbished. In summer 2011, the Fraunhofer Institute for Wind Energy and Energy System Technology (IWES) inaugurated a second test rig for rotor blades with lengths of up to 90 metres at Fischereihafen. In addition to all these industrial uses, the old fish factory buildings and the former fish railway station have been converted into a tourist attraction, „Schaufenster Fischereihafen” which offers a selection of diverse cultural amenities, art galleries, restaurants and pubs. > www.fbg-bremerhaven.de Terminals in Bremerhaven Terminals in Bremerhaven 54 The USP of the new terminal is that the production plants and shipping harbours are located right next to each other and that reserve sites of more than 200 hectares are available for new businesses and expansions. To enable jack-up vessels to operate from Bremerhaven as from now, bremenports has already provided handling facilities for heavy wind farm components at the international port in Bremerhaven. Special reinforcements known as “elephants’ feet” have been installed in the riverbed of the Weser at the southern end of the container quay so that the jack-up vessels can anchor. The harbour floor in Kaiserhafen III in front of the ABC peninsula first had to be refurbished by replacing the soil. Bremen invested a sum of roughly EUR 10 million for these interim solutions. Offshore Terminal Quay length: 500 m Berths: 2 to 3 Total area: approx. 25 hectares Heavy-lift slab on the quay: 70 m wide, 500 m long Terminal width: 498 m Offshore wind energy is an increasingly important factor for the north German economy and the installation of around 5 000 wind turbines is planned over the medium-term. As a result, tens of thousands of heavy components, some weighing up to several hun dred tonnes, will have to be transported out to sea over the coming years – and Bremer haven will play a crucial role for that task. The city has already established a strong position as the international competence centre for this booming industry, thanks to its efficient infrastructure and outstanding business sites for the development, production and export of wind farms. Numerous specialists work for major plant producers such as REpower Systems, Areva Wind, PowerBlades and WeserWind, manufacturing rotor blades, nacelles, foundation elements and hubs for multi-megawatt turbines. The Fraunhofer Institute for Wind Energy and Energy System Technology (IWES) has opened premises in the immediate vicinity. The rapid growth of this sunrise industry has generated strong demand for port and logistics sites that meet its particular requirements. With the aim of making Bremerhaven the premium European location for wind energy and logistics, the Bremen's government is having a dedicated terminal planned and built in the south of Bremerhaven. The new Offshore Terminal Bremerhaven (OTB) will be available for use as a heavy-lift, assembly and transhipment location by the year 2016. Up to 160 offshore wind turbines per annum are to be shipped from the 25-hectare loading zone for operation out at sea. The new terminal on the Weser will consolidate and expand Bremerhaven’s leading position as a manufacturing and logistics location. The total infrastructure costs are estimated at EUR 180 million and will be borne by the Federal Land of Bremen. Construction is scheduled to begin in 2014. 57 Planned water depth: 14.5 m Offshore Terminal Offshore Terminal 56 Bremerhaven Offshore Terminal LogInPort A 306-hectare site near the international ports is now home to the „LogInPort”, an industrial park developed specially for logistics, industry and port-related services. Its proximity to the container and automotive handling areas and the good transport connections via road, rail and water attract in particular companies from the logistics industry, who invest in property in the LogIn- Port. For example, the Schnellecke Group, an automobile supplier from Wolfsburg, has signed a lease for a huge logistics shed. Other properties have already been built for Comet Feuerwerk GmbH and the Benthien Group. Vacant sites are still available for other companies wishing to set up business here.

The principal operator is the Bremen-based Eurogate Group and the terminal in Wilhelmshaven is its third location on the North Sea. APM Terminals holds a 30 per cent share in the operating company. Germany’s only deep-water port has a water depth of 18 metres, offering ideal nautical conditions for container shipping. After a short trip up the estuary, even the largest container vessels with draughts of up to 16.5 metres can reach JadeWeserPort at any time, irrespective of the tides. Road and rail hinterland connections link the port to the main European economic centres. The new quay in Wilhelmshaven can handle four mega-container ships and feeder vessels simultaneously, using up to 8 container gantry cranes. It is a common-user terminal which is available to all shipping companies worldwide. Throughput capacity is approx. 2.7 million TEU per annum. Around two thirds of the containers refer to transit cargo, t ranshipped in Wilhelmshaven en route to and from smaller European seaports. JadeWeserPort is intended primarily as a transhipment terminal for feeder traffic to Scandinavia, the Baltic and Russia. Next to the 130-hectare terminal site, there is a 160-hectare logistics zone for port-related industrial and logistics companies as well as a freight village. A further 400 hectares are available for development if necessary. Lower Saxony and Bremen have invested approx. EUR 950 million in the construction of the new terminal and the operator Eurogate has invested roughly a further EUR 350 mil lion in suprastructure. > www.jadeweserport.de JadeWeserPort in Wilhelmshaven Logistics centres in Bremerhaven JadeWeserPort Vocational Training, Further Education, Science offered by Bremerhaven University of Applied Sciences since 2009 reflects the city’s increasingly important role as a wind energy location.

Five colleges and universities and more than 150 highly reputed research institutes teach cutting-edge professional knowledge and provide solid basic education. If it were not for the graduates of these institutes, many regional and national companies would be unable to provide top class services. Security takes top priority Security · Shipbuilding 62 Amongst other things, the new regulations demand fully secured port facilities which are permanently guarded and which allow monitored access by authorised persons only. They prescribe cargo inspections and random X-ray examinations for container loads. Every seaport terminal has to appoint a specially trained port facility security officer (PFSO), who is responsible for compliance with the prescribed security measures. The major terminal operators at the ports of Bremen have a dedicated security department and also offer their expertise as a service to other companies. This includes developing and updating port facility security plans, organising training seminars as well as basic and follow-up training sessions for security assistants and employees in positions with safety impact. The remit of these security officers goes far beyond the measures required by the ISPS Code published by IMO. Dealing with highly diverse dangerous goods at the port, for example, calls for a high level of specialist knowledge. They also have to be familiar with general occupational health and safety aspects, such as fire prevention, to protect both people and goods. Shipbuilding on the Lower Weser Banal but true: shipyards are the place where ships are built. But building new vessels is only one aspect of the work performed by the shipyards and their suppliers in the region of Bremen and Bremerhaven: every ship has to call in at the yard at regular intervals for servicing or modernisation. Sometimes, ships undergo a complete conversion or are lengthened so that they can carry more freight or passengers. Bremerhaven enjoys an excellent international reputation for such projects, thanks to the Lloyd shipyard and its record of sometimes spectacular conversions. Three cruise liners belonging to a Norwegian shipping company were completely cut apart and new mid-sections installed to lengthen them significantly. Other shipyards at the port include Rickmers Lloyd, Bredo and Motorenwerke Bremerhaven. Together with the numerous suppliers in the region, they offer a unique competence cluster in maintenance and repairs. The Lürssen Group in Bremen-Nord specialises in the construction of modern superyachts and naval vessels. Another specialist shipyard, Abeking & Rasmussen, is located on the other side of the Weser, in Lower Saxony. The F assmer yard in Berne is known primarily for the con struction of numerous lifeboats. Green Logistics 63 Sustainable Management – Successful Performance Global warming, rising sea levels, climate change are subjects that are on everyone’s lips. All over the globe, nature and the environment are at loggerheads with business interests. Environment protection plays a central role in Europe, especially in Germany, and „green” logistics concepts are being developed for all aspects of port operations, shipping and land transport in order to reduce ecological impact as much as possible. Bremen’s ports are also taking action to improve marine environment protection. Becoming a green port involves highly diverse factors: one example is the disposal of shipboard waste, where Bremen has set international standards. It has also achieved a particularly high level of ecological compensation measures and executes sophisticated projects to compensate for unavoidable impact on the balance of nature resulting from the construction of new quays and terminals. Targeted ecological commitment also comes from the companies that work at the ports: for example, the operators use cutting-edge technology to reduce the noise level at the container terminal, and the shipyards collect and treat washing water from dock operations. Environmental considerations are also an important issue at bremenports, the port management company. The hydraulic engineering and environmental experts create substitute sites to compensate for the environmental impact of quay and lock construction projects. Other employees develop alternative energy concepts for the company’s own premises. The material dredged from the harbours is disposed of ecologically and in some cases treated for further use. bremenports is not only involved in the planning of Bremerhaven Offshore Terminal, which will be built on the banks of the Weser by 2016 to handle wind farm components, but also attends to the search for an operating company. > www.greenports.de Green Logistics The terrorist attacks in the USA on 11 September 2001 shook the world. In the aftermath, the security regulations in force at airports, in underground transport systems and at ports were tightened up significantly. The ISPS Code (International Ship and Port Facility Security Code) drawn up under the overall supervision of the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) was implemented on 12 December 2002. The Code contains a number of security measures which also impose obligations on the ports in Bremen und Bremerhaven. The primary objective is to protect ships and port facilities against terrorist attacks. The terminals in Bremerhaven were the first in Germany to obtain ISPS certification. © psdesign1 - Fotolia.com Maritime logistics centre with new location brand VIA BREMEN – a symbol of the integrated port sector The brand pursues clear objectives: Marketing 64 Bremen and Bremerhaven are amongst the most efficient port locations on the continent. World-class container and automobile throughput, Europe’s leading freight village, competent service providers in all areas of logistics and distribution, excellent scientific and educational institutes – a mixture that is not often found elsewhere and that really speaks for itself. Global trade flows travel many routes – and an increasing number of them go via Bremen. The logistics sector accounts directly and indirectly for some 75 000 jobs in the region, which is equivalent to every fifth job in Bremen, the smallest Federal Land in Germany. However, Bremen and Bremerhaven are not only committed to the ports as an economic factor. Sustainable treatment of the world’s increasingly scarce resources is a prime concern at the quays and terminals. The target is to reduce ecological impact by port operations to a minimum. VIA BREMEN aims to > raise brand awareness of Bremen as a port and logistics location, > systematically place the individual service elements offered by the different countries in the global market > and highlight Bremen’s position in the competition between the ports in the Hamburg-Antwerp range. The expertise of the maritime service pro viders in Bremen and Bremerhaven convince an international clientele time and again. The port and logistics community at the River Weser has joined forces behind the location brand VIA BREMEN, giving the twin ports an identity in Germany and abroad. The brand symbolises the quality and diverse portfolio of products and services offered by the twin ports and the actors who operate there. VIA BREMEN – the brand expresses the selfconfidence of a successful group of ports.

KG, the company responsible for the provision of infrastructure services for the ports of Bremen and Bremerhaven, are active market players and have extended their activities from the catchment area in and around Bremen. environment protection 67 The planning and efficient execution of port construction measures – that is the core competence of bremenports. The Offshore Terminal Bremerhaven (OTB) is currently the most important project in the port management company’s portfolio. The new wind energy terminal on the banks of the Weser in Bremerhaven is scheduled for completion by 2016 and will provide a high-capacity loading zone for up to 160 offshore wind turbines per annum. bremenports is entrusted with overall management of the project, from finding an operator, to planning the civil engineering work and handling the approval processes, right through to the design and implementa tion of compensation measures. The operating contract is to be awarded in spring 2014. Another core area of Bremen’s future investments in the ports refers to the expansion of rail infrastructure in Bremerhaven. bremenports expects the number of freight trains to rise to 770 per week by the mid-2020s, compared with an average of around 490 inbound and outbound trains on the tracks of the terminal railway in Bremerhaven in 2011. By summer 2012, that figure had already risen to 630 trains per week, so that the terminal railway infrastructure is rapidly being developed. Earlier port construction projects, such as Container Terminal 4 (CT 4) in Bremerhaven and the new Kaiserschleuse lock, also in Bremerhaven, bear witness to the extensive experience of the planning experts, technical specialists and engineers at bremenports. Not only could CT 4 be completed 14 months ahead of schedule, but was also significantly under budget. In its capacity of port infrastructure service provider, bremenports is responsible for roughly 34 kilometres of quays, 250 kilometres of railway track at the port, 65 bridges, five locks and more than nine kilometres of dykes. Its 370 employees are responsible for the development, expansion and upkeep of the port facilities and also attend to repairs. They inspect locks, water areas, embankments, bridges, rail infrastructure, buildings and dykes, conduct tender procedures, award contracts and perform maintenance work themselves. The „port caretakers”, as bremenports is sometimes referred to, also have their own dredging department to maintain the necessary water depths in the harbour basins and berths. The company also operates numerous technical facilities, from flood barrier to sediment landfill. Marine environment protection takes top priority in Bremen and Bremerhaven, which were amongst the first ports to define precise standards for the disposal of shipboard waste. They are also regarded as pioneers in largescale compensation for environmental impact resulting from the construction of port facilities. bremenports itself has also opted for a green corporate policy, as the following examples show: electricity consumption at the workshops and offices is kept to a minimum, a photo voltaic system on the roof of the central port workshop in Bremerhaven generates green current, and modern LED technology minimises the power consumption of the lock signalling systems. It is also in the process of replacing its company cars with extremely low-carbon models which emit less than 100 grams of carbon dioxide per kilometre. The construction of port facilities invariably has an impact on the environment, which has to be compensated for elsewhere. In the CT 4 project, for example, roughly 650 hectares of substitute site were created on Luneplate to the south of Bremerhaven as a habitat and refuge for breeding and resting birds, as well as other rare species of fauna and flora. bremenports also opts for unusual solutions, such as a herd of water buffalo. These frugal animals keep the grass short, which in turn benefits the bird population. Some 250 000 cubic metres of sediment have to be dredged from the harbours every year to ensure that customers always find sufficient water depths. The silt is treated before it is dumped in order to minimise impact on the environment. In 1990, bremenports introduced an integrated concept for the disposal of dredged material and since then has dumped the sediment at a special facility in BremenSeehausen. Some of the dried material is used for the construction of dykes or to fill in harbour basins (Bremerhaven, Osthafen). bremenports began to practise a new method of sediment disposal in 2011. In the first stage of an international cooperation project with the port of Rotterdam, 60 000 cubic metres of silt dredged from the bottom of Bremerhaven’s Überseehafen were transported to the Dutch port and deposited in ‚De Slufter’, an underwater confined disposal facility for dredged material in the Maasvlakte. The international pilot project will ease the strain on the limited capacities at the disposal facility in Bremen-Seehausen. > bremenports bremenports 66 Bremen Bremerhaven Know-how-Transfer Location Marketing bremenports 68 Over the years, bremenports has acquired comprehensive know-how in the planning and construction of complex port facilities. The engineers have extensive experience of managing the sensitive infrastructure of a maritime centre. Moreover, they are thoroughly familiar with the stringent European environmental legislation which repeatedly poses new challenges for anyone planning a water construction project. Hardly surprising, then, that there is international demand for this expertise. Third-party business meanwhile generates income of around EUR 3.5 million for bremenports, as the port and environment specialists now provide services not only for other companies in the Federal Land of Bremen, but also work on behalf of public authorities and private enterprises throughout Germany and abroad. The company systematically markets its services, whether planning a container terminal in Minden or monitoring the handling of warranty claims for new container gantry cranes in Mauritius. Experts from bremenports provide consulting services for the construction of cargo handling facilities all over the globe, analysing structures, drawing up port development plans and training port professionals from newly industrialised countries such as China, Indonesia and Timor Leste. Working in close cooperation with the business community, bremenports handles the marketing activities for the ports of Bremen on a national and international scale, objectively, professionally and cost effectively. When maritime experts get together at trade fairs in Moscow, Shanghai or Munich, Bremen’s port and logistics industry is sure to be represented. The extensive marketing programme also includes congresses, workshops and round tables, some of which are initiated and organised by bremenports itself. In order to make port marketing even more effective in future, the companies at the ports, Bremen’s Senate and bremenports have agreed on Via Bremen as the location brand. Under the slogan „Logistics for your benefit”, the expertise available in Bremen and Bremerhaven is presented even more strikingly and assertively. Highlights of the marketing activities include prestigious joint stands at leading international logistics and transport fairs, which provide port companies of all sizes with whatever they need for a professional presentation. The neighbouring ports in the Federal Land of Lower Saxony have meanwhile followed in Bremen’s footsteps with their umbrella brand „German Ports”. Bremen and Lower Saxony have presented their maritime sectors at joint stands for several years, a successful example of effective North German cooperation. Hamburg is also involved in some areas of the cooperation. > www.bremenports.de Ports are drivers of the global economy. Their infrastructure has to be kept permanently in good condition – and that is where we come in. bremenports attends to locks, water areas, bridges, rail infrastructure, buildings and embankments. We guarantee the necessary water depths, ensure safety thanks to flood barriers and dykes, market the port location all over the world and provide consulting services for partners beyond the boundaries of Bremen and Bremerhaven. We set standards in questions of marine environment protection and are currently establishing the Offshore Terminal Bremerhaven (OTB) to equip Bremen’s ports for a future as wind energy centre. 69 World port in good hands [email protected] www.bremenports.de Terminals in Bremen Multipurpose terminal City Airport Bremen > Avangard Malz AG BREMEN Plant Kap-Horn-Straße 12 28237 Bremen phone +49 - (0) 421 - 691 55-0 fax +49 - (0) 421 - 691 55-28 [email protected] www.avangard-malz.de > DEHA Holzindustrie GmbH & Co.
