Port of Kiel acquires property and warehouse at the Ostuferhafen

摘要

Germany's Port of Kiel has acquired a 3.2 ha commercial site with warehousing from Agrar Terminal Peter Rothe GmbH & Co. KG, which lies right next to the Ostuferhafen. The warehouse boasts more than 18,500 m~2 of useable floor area as well as an office building and waterfront loading facilities. In the newly acquired warehouse, grain will continue to be stored for the time being along with pellets and, later, sawn timber. The Ostuferhafen was built in the mid-1980s on the site of a former shipyard and has been transformed to date in five development phases into a freight and logistics hub for the commercial Port of Kiel. At that time the adjacent property with its flat-roofed storage hall was first sold by the City of Kiel and not transferred into the ownership of the Port of Kiel. With this most recent site extension, Kiel is underscoring the universal character of its port in order to offer all its customers possibilities for expanding business.
