Lower Saxony strengthens seaports
04.11.2025
BRAKE. The state of Lower Saxony is investing heavily in its seaports to make them fit for the future. This is budgeted at 375 million euros for the current year, of which 200 million euros are intended for a new jetty for liquefied gases (LNG) in Wilhelmshaven, which will also be used to handle hydrogen and its derivatives in future. A further 175 million euros have been earmarked to modernise, digitise and adapt Niedersachsen Ports’ infrastructure to global warming, including the expansion of berths, for example in Wilhelmshaven and Cuxhaven. At the same time, the state of Lower Saxony is focusing on new trade agreements and closer economic relations with countries in South America, Eastern Europe and Central Asia, in order to tap into promising business opportunities. German ports, logistics companies and exporters could thus strengthen their position internationally – especially supply chains outside the established markets. “Despite all the uncertainties, we see ourselves on the right track,” said Seaports Managing Director Inke Onnen-Lübben in her opening speech at the 33rd Lower Saxony Ports Day in Brake in early September.
