JadeWeserPort feierlich eröffnet

摘要

Am 21. September ist in Wilhelmshaven Deutschlands erster und einziger Tiefwasser-Containerhafen feierlich eröffnet worden. Rund 1.200 geladene Gäste, darunter der Bundesminister für Wirtschaft und Technologie, Dr. Philipp Rösler, Niedersachsens Ministerpräsident David McAl-lister und Bremens Regierungschef Jens Böhrnsen, nahmen an der Zeremonie teil. Allesamt strichen sie in ihren Reden die Bedeutung des Containerhafens für den Standort Wilhelmshaven und für die Bundesrepublik heraus und würdigten die am Bau beteiligten Personen.%Jade WeserPort in Wilhelmshaven has started operation at the end of September. But until now, only Maersk is operating there with two weekly services and since mid-October the first feeder service to the Baltic by Seago Line has been integrated. Other shipping companies are hesitant in this case. Nearly the same wait-and-see-attitude is noticed concerning the nearby Logistics Zone, where only Nordfrost is located at the moment. So in the future, the main challenge for Wilhelmshaven will be to convince shipping companies and other organisations to participate in the project JadeWeserPort.rnIn comparison to the other ports of the Nordrange, Wilhelmshaven with an estimated cargo handling volume of approximately 2.7 mill. TEU per year will not be very relevant in the beginning. Therefore the new deepwater container port can rather be seen as an addition to the main German container ports Hamburg and Bremerhaven and not so much as an competitor.
