Significant growth recorded in Lower Saxony’s seaports

OLDENBURG. Last year, the seaports of Lower Saxony were able to increase their volume of sea freight by ten per cent to 55.5 million tonnes (2023: 50.6 million). This was announced by Olaf Lies, Lower Saxony’s Minister for Economic Affairs, Transport, Construction and Digitalisation (l.), Inke Onnen-Lübben, Managing Director of Seaports of Niedersachsen (centre), and Holger Banik, CEO of Niedersachsen Ports (r.), at the annual media conference of Lower Saxony’s seaports in early March. With a handling volume in excess of 41.4 million tonnes (9 per cent more than 2023), bulk freight accounted for the largest percentage. Compared to the previous year, seaborne handling of general cargo was also up by nine per cent to 14.1 million tonnes. Most of the container handling carried out in Lower Saxony’s seaports took place at the EUROGATE Container Terminal in Wilhelmshaven, where 843,452 TEU was recorded in 2024 (2023: 530,954 TEU). At approx. 1.65 million, the transshipment of vehicles at the ports of Cuxhaven, Emden and Wilhelmshaven was more or less on par with the previous year (2023: 1.66 million vehicles).
