BREMEN. The Innovative Waterway Transportation (InnoWaTr) project is dedicated to shifting containers off the road and onto the water and thus boosting climate-friendly inland waterway transport. In collaboration with 25 project partners based in Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, France and Sweden, bremenports is working to do just that – with an international solution encompassing multiple ports. As part of the three-year, EU-funded sustainability project, bremenports has been entrusted “with developing a ‘toolbox’ – i.e. practical instructions for sharing and adapting approaches like these for use in different cities and regions,” explained Lars Stemmler (right), who is in charge of the project at bremenports and can be seen here with his partners from northern Germany. The scope of potential measures ranges from container lines between the Bremerhaven and Hamburg ports and the use of autonomous or remotely controlled ship units to supplying the retail sector with urban shuttles via inland waterway transport.

BREMERHAVEN. The Bremen Senate is providing around 56 million euros for the expansion. Among other things, these funds will be used to build seven additional tracks, each approximately 740 metres long. There are also plans to digitise the existing infrastructure to improve the port’s connection to the hinterland.
