The “Bremen Explanation” requires more funding

BREMERHAVEN. In the run-up to the 13th National Maritime Conference, the ministers and senators for economic affairs and transport of the coastal states as well as representatives of the German seaport industry penned a letter entitled “Bremen Explanation”, calling for the federal government to increase seaport funding, which had been static for more than 20 years. The EUR 38 million that the federal government has contributed annually since 2005 would not even be enough to build a larger nursery or school today, said Andreas Bovenschulte (left), Mayor of Bremen. “That’s nowhere near enough for a national port strategy.”
