First pile driven in for new berths

02.04.2025
CUXHAVEN. The first pile for the berths 5 to 7 was carried out in Cuxhaven in February, thus symbolising the beginning of the major project. “This construction site is something very special for us. We’re pleased that it’s now underway,” stated Albert Schmidt, Project Manager at NPorts, after the initial pile was driven in. Three new berths with a total length of 1,250 metres and 38 hectares of terminal space will be built, meaning a continuous quay will be created between berths 1 to 4 and the existing offshore berths 8 and 9. The new berths are primarily geared towards handling wind turbines and will help to meet the increased demand for transshipment and storage space for onshore and offshore wind turbines. “The first pile driven in marks the official start on a project of national importance. We’re building something much more than just a jetty here. This project represents a resilient, clean and permanently affordable energy supply not only for Lower Saxony, but for the whole of Germany,” stated Olaf Lies (2nd from right), Lower Saxony’s Minister for Economic Affairs, Transport, Construction and Digitalisation, explaining the significance of the project.
