It is what is going on in the JadeWeserPort

For a long time, the Jade, was a ruin-Weser-Port as a multi-billion grave and Investment. Now the container transhipment in the deep-booming-water port in Wilhelmshaven, all of a sudden. And the operators are thinking about the Expansion.

Mikkel Andersen is on the Balustrade of the fifth Floor and looks out from the terminal building, satisfied, down to Quay and Parking area. “I’ve always said, a port, such as our takes a bit of time.” Andersen is the managing Director of the jade-Weser-port in Wilhelmshaven. For 2.7 million container movements in the port is designed in the first stage of expansion. In 2013, there were just 76.000 Container. For a long time, the Jade, was a ruin-Weser-Port as a multi-billion grave and Investment. Now, the container throughput is booming in the deep-water port in Wilhelmshaven, all of a sudden.

In the last year the handling volume increased six fold. At at least least 427,000 Container. Is busy in the harbour, which was opened in 2012 and one billion Euro has not tasted this for a long time. At the end of the washed area of the track systems are on the horizon. A container train is there. Andersen: “So the trains we have. We also have a lot of truck traffic.”

Until now, containers from large ships to smaller transhipped, and the freight to Scandinavia and in the Baltic sea-distributing ports and from there to Wilhelmshaven, will most of the time. In the future more containers via Rail and road from and to Wilhelmshaven to be transported.

Port group HHLA relies on trains

The container handling in Hamburg is growing, only behavior. The port group HHLA wants to make his train into the Hinterland, more profitable, and wagons and locomotives to buy. (30.03.2015)

Finally, life in the JadeWeserPort

On Friday evening, the container ship has made the “Munkebo Maersk” in Wilhelmshaven. For Germany’s only deep-sea port it is the long-awaited beginning of the line of traffic. (10.02.2015)

China slump to the port of Hamburg

The port of Hamburg is considered as Germany’s gateway to the world. If trade with foreign countries is weakening, are there shipped a few containers. Especially the decline in imports from Asia to the port. (11.02.2013)

A lot to be said for the jade-Weser-port

The container ships are getting longer and longer, ever wider, ever deeper; you will soon transport over 20,000 containers across the oceans and to the shipping companies that want to earn with their expensive ships, money want it to be – full of every port of loading can start at any time. The river access roads to the ports in Hamburg and Bremerhaven are not deep enough. Without limitation, round-the-clock and regardless of the ebb and flood, and to start the Mega-ships Wilhelmshaven.

Uwe Beck Meyer knows that. As a native of Bremerhaven, he also knows that No port location would be voluntary and to the benefit of a Competitor dispense with the envelope volume. Even in his role as Parliamentary state Secretary in the Federal Ministry of Economics and as the Maritime coordinator of the Federal government’s hands are tied. “The market drives the corresponding container flows and I think that’s a good thing, because the market knows at the end of the best, such as on logistical procedures and best respond.”

More going on in the port: There is also work at night…

Hope on the world trade

The world trade must grow, must grow strong, so that the container handling only recovering, but also the projected growth rates are achieved, which had once been in the planning and construction of the jade Weser port. Beck, Meyer remains optimistic that Germany is currently in a very good Constitution, he refers to the growth of the gross national product, on the good domestic economic conditions and the labour market situation.

“But of course, we also know that under the low Oil price, the purchasing power suffers in our most important export countries.” Beck, Meyer would accept a higher price for Oil of about 50, 60 dollars per Barrel, “so that the trade and purchasing capacity of our partners in Asia, or in Africa, and also in the European context is stable again.”

The JadeWeserPort is very well equipped for the next upturn in the world economy. The port offers space that may be needed soon, as the global shipping alliances set up. The end of the 60s the big ships transported approximately 700 containers on the oceans. In the 90s, as globalization had picked up, were of 5,000, a maximum of 6,000 containers is the measure of all things.

So sad it looked in the first few years in the Jade Weser Port.

Optimism despite Overcapacity

Today, there are 19,000 who have on Board. Soon it will be 20,000 and more. Without the nautical access restrictions on the Mega-ships just Wilhelmshaven start. On the other hand: Since the world trade falters, breaking in the freight rates. The shipowners pass on the price pressure to the port operator and we expect reductions in the clearance of their vessels. Here, too, the jadeweserport want to go in advance. As the first in Germany, Wilhelmshaven want to test a system for fully automated Container handling.

In the past year, the container throughput fell in the German North sea ports. Uum 9.3 percent in Hamburg, Germany, by five per cent in Bremerhaven. A total of 15 million containers were moved. With least 427,000 containers of the jade-Weser-port is negligible. Still not restricts managing Director Mikkel Andersen. “We’re the New, we must always be better than the other. We make every effort. I’m sure that will offend the customer.”
