New Columbus Quay opens its doors

03.02.2025
BREMERHAVEN. Like the King of Rock ’n’ Roll, the Queen once disembarked at the Columbus Quay. More importantly, however, many emigrants entered Germany at this historical location on their return to their home country. But it was the new Columbus Quay itself that took centre stage in December. According to plan – after exactly three years of construction – Kristina Vogt (r), Bremen Senator for Economic Affairs, Ports and Transformation, Melf Grantz (l), Bremerhaven’s mayor, and Robert Howe (centre), bremenports Managing Director, officially opened the structure, which had been extended 20 metres further into the river. “With a price tag of just under 80 million euros, the Senate gave the green light for the largest quay structure at the Bremen ports in the past 15 years,” says Vogt. “Many people worked hand in hand. This positive collaboration allowed us to finish on time and also within budget, which makes it a resounding success for us,” says bremenports Managing Director Howe.
