WILHELMSHAVEN. Germany’s only deep-water port, JadeWeserPort, is set to be expanded with a new terminal. “It will be a multi-purpose terminal,” announced NPorts Managing Director Holger Banik at a press conference in March. In future, the terminal is intended to handle not only containers but also components for wind turbines, cars and military shipments. Plans for such a port expansion were most recently driven forward by the Mosolf Group, which handles vehicle shipments in Wilhelmshaven as a logistics service provider. In a vision paper now presented by NPorts, the JadeWeserPort quay is to be extended northwards by around 900 metres to accommodate the new terminal. However, approvals and funding are still pending. NPorts estimates the construction costs at between 700 million and one billion euros.
