More flexibility in flood response

BREMERHAVEN. In July, bremenports procured new equipment for the defence against floods and disaster control, in order to continuously improve flood protection. “The core of the new equipment is an ultramodern MAN lorry with a three-sided tipper and a built-in Atlas loading crane,” said Christian von Deetzen (right), Head of the Dike team at bremenports. A machine was also procured, which facilitates continual fast filling of sandbags, up to 4,200 sandbags per hour. These measures are the reaction of bremenports to the ever-growing potential of danger due to climate change.
