Positive trend for ports of Bremen

02.04.2025
BREMEN, BREMERHAVEN. In 2024, 61.9 million tonnes of cargo were handled by the Ports of Bremen, This corresponds to a 5.9 per cent rise year-on-year. Kristina Vogt, Bremen Senator for Economic Affairs, Port and Transformation, commented on this positive trend, as follows: “Our ports play a key role in ensuring that supplies reach trade and industry for the German economy. The fact that we were able to achieve good growth in freight handling during a difficult economic period shows the competitiveness of our ports and the faith in international shipping companies in Bremen/Bremerhaven as a location.” The development was driven, in particular, by container handling in Bremen/Bremerhaven, which recorded a rise of 4.4 million TEU (20 foot containers). This corresponds to growth of 6.3 per cent. Bremerhaven, too, was able to increase cargo handling to 51.2 million tonnes (+ 8.3 per cent), whereas the City of Bremen recorded a 4 per cent drop, down to 10.7 million tonnes. Bulk cargo handling in Bremen witnessed a significant downturn, which was primarily due to the politically driven decarbonisation of industry.
