Building of a large ship berth starts

04.11.2025
EMDEN. A new mooring facility is underway in Emden for larger cargo vessels. In August, Lower Saxony’s Minister President Olaf Lies (3rd from left) and Environmental Minister Christian Meyer (2nd from left) gave the green light for the 70-million euro project with a symbolic pile-driving ceremony, thereby emphasising the special political significance of the construction measure that is part of the Ems master plan. The mooring facility for large vessels, approx. 337 metres in length, covers a terminal area of roughly 23,200 square metres and is due for completion by late 2027. It will be able to accommodate large car carriers even at low water levels.
