Port infrastructure financing to be reorganised

04.11.2025
BERLIN. At the German Transport Forum’s Parliamentary Evening on Ports and Shipping in mid-September in Berlin, Matthias Magnor, DVF executive committee member and CEO of BLG LOGISTICS GROUP, called for far-reaching reforms. The financing of port infrastructure, expansion of seaward access routes and hinterland connections as well as the supply of sustainable fuels are important. These goals cannot be achieved without federal funding from the special fund. Waterways need to be redeveloped more quickly and funding increased – contrary to the 2026 draft budget.
