The Emden port industry meets political decision-makers

EMDEN. With Emder Hafenförderungsgesellschaft (EHFG) and a highly diverse delegation of IHK representatives for East Frisia and Papenburg, the Emden port industry took part in the 13th National Maritime Conference in Bremen last September. In a conversation with Lower Saxony’s Minister for Economic Affairs, Olaf Lies, and the federal government’s Maritime Coordinator, Dieter Janecek, participants once again emphasised the importance of their seaports as central transhipment centres in north-western Germany for import and export goods. “The Port of Emden’s role in the energy transition should not be underestimated,” says Reinhard Hegewald, Chairman of EHFG. The Emden delegation was visibly sobered by the speeches of Chancellor Olaf Scholz and Federal Minister for Economic Affairs Dr Robert Habeck. Unexpectedly, neither of them agreed to increase government funding for the port infrastructure.
