Many locations provide security
How the energy supply will develop in the coming weeks and months is unclear. What is certain, however, is that the German seaports will play an important role in what is to come. This is because the now urgently needed terminals will be built right here – initially for importing LNG and, in future, for green gas.
Digitalisation – a competitive edge
Cuxport got ready for Brexit in good time. An essential part was played by the extension and adjustment to the existing IT systems. This enabled the port services provider to score with the car manufacturer BMW.

Main Topic
An island but not isolated
How Brexit is playing out may differ in the UK and on the continent. However, the crisis in Ukraine is now welding Europe closer together again – regardless of EU membership. The period of bipolarity between the UK and the EU is likely to be over for the time being, with potentially positive effects on trade too.
Cross-border competition
Two countries, numerous strengths: industry experts shed light on what distinguishes the Netherlands and Belgium – and what sets them apart from Germany. The topic of port cooperation automatically appears on the agenda.
Quo vadis, United Kingdom?
Since the United Kingdom officially left the EU on 31 January 2020, it is not only the economic

Feed logistics and flying polar bears
Zoos have developed sophisticated logistical processes to ensure their animals are supplied with the best possible food every day. This also applies to inter-zoo animal transportation as part of breeding programmes – as a look at Hanover and Bremerhaven shows.

Behind the Scenes
Soft skills, not hard bargaining
Humour, a cool composure and tolerant attitude – and ditching any rigid negotiating strategies and principles – is the trusted formula for business travellers during their next UK meeting.
More differences than similarities
There are three key success factors for a business trip in the Netherlands and Belgium – some respect, history and English. It is equally important to differentiate and to remember there is no umbrella approach to the Dutch or Belgians.
A storm ahead for smugglers
Large European ports receive the widest range of shipped goods in containers, which are subsequently transported inland in Germany or other EU countries. However, it is not just goods like tablets, frozen pizza, jeans, auto parts and machine tools that are shipped. “The increase in the flow of goods to Europe has brought an increase in illegal goods being imported by sea. Drug smuggling is a particularly significant concern here,” says Yvonne Schamber, spokeswoman of the German Customs Administration.

“Then we just go to them”
The coronavirus pandemic and the war in Ukraine can be felt everywhere. The daily work of the German seamen’s missions has also changed considerably due to the current global situation. Above all, flexibility and empathy are required when it comes to making appropriate decisions and giving its seafarers more than just a sympathetic ear.
The anchor in the Port of Emden
Christoph Kolter has been port captain of the Port of Emden since last April and thus the central point of contact for shipping companies, customers and service providers in Germany’s universal port in the far west.
Partner for parts
30 Audi and Volkswagen production sites in 13 countries on four continents have been supplied with vehicle parts from the logistics centre at Imperial Logistics International, part of the publicly owned Imperial Group in South Africa, at JadeWeserPort since 2019. Logistical flexibility was crucial here.
