No discussion about Germany\u2019s maritime sector would be complete today without the terms \u201cnational port strategy\u201d and \u201cport cooperation\u201d cropping up at some stage. However, those responsible for ports in each German state and the stakeholders have very different views on how things are developing. They do agree, though, that Berlin has a decisive influence on both the direction we will need to row in the future and how quickly. Moreover, each location wants to emphasise its individual qualities as a universal port.<\/h2>\n

Indeed, in order to ensure medium- and long-term survival on the global market, he believes it necessary for all those involved to pool their existing infrastructures, resources and ideas and to use them efficiently. Lies remains self-critical, however, when looking back, especially concerning the ports of Antwerp and Rotterdam. \u201cWe may have invested too much energy in navel-gazing in the past,\u201d he admitted. \u201cWe need to concentrate on how we, as a port in northern Germany, can compete with the rest of Europe and jointly strengthen our positions. The time has come to get over our old parochial thinking once and for all and strive for more intensive cooperation. We\u2019re all in the same boat, after all.\u201d <\/p>\n

He cites the deep-water container port JadeWeserPort, a joint project between the German states of Lower Saxony and Bremen, as an example of how port cooperation can work in Germany. He also refers to the port development catalogue, which since 2012 has become established as a coordination platform for northern German port policy, and to the ports\u2019 shared international trade fair activities, which take place via the \u201cGerman Ports\u201d communication and marketing platform. At the same time, he clarified: \u201cmore intensive north German port cooperation doesn\u2019t imply the state should be responsible for cargo management and can\u2019t be the sole answer.\u201d <\/p>\n

In his view, the seaports of Lower Saxony can bring a range of skills and strengths to the cooperation process. \u201cEach port has different focal points,\u201d the minister emphasised. In Wilhelmshaven, for example, the focus is on container shipping and energy, while in Stade much revolves around LNG and chemical products. Alongside this, Cuxhaven is at the forefront of offshore wind energy, while Brake focuses on agricultural products and Emden on vehicles, cellulose and wood products. \u201cAll in all, Lower Saxony\u2019s seaports already constitute a major German universal port,\u201d Lies concluded.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ module_class=”dtb-sticky” _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_sidebar area=”et_pb_widget_area_7″ show_border=”off” admin_label=”Werbung Startseite \/ Artikel” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_sidebar][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.logistics-pilot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Master_APR_500pxOlaf-Lies.png” alt=”J\u00f6rg Buck, gesch\u00e4ftsf\u00fchrendes Vorstandsmitglied der Deutsch-Italienischen Handelskammer in Mailand” title_text=”Master_APR_500pxOlaf-Lies” align=”center” _builder_version=”4.20.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.2″ text_text_color=”#003a7c” text_orientation=”center” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n

Germany’s only deep-water container port, the JadeWeserPort, is cited by many as a prime example of successful cooperation, owing to the financial participation of the states of Bremen and Lower Saxony.<\/p>\n

Bremen\u2019s long wish list<\/h2>\n

For Dr Claudia Schilling, Bremen\u2019s Senator for Science and Ports, the desired port cooperation is an important adjustment that should be made without delay. \u201cIn order to remain competitive internationally,\u201d she said, \u201cthe ports must cooperate more closely and offer innovative and sustainable solutions.\u201d She also does not believe politicians are solely responsible. \u201cPoliticians must set the framework for stronger cooperation between the ports and anchor the importance of this issue in the minds of everyone involved,\u201d she added. \u201cAt the same time, stronger cooperation demands the support of each and every individual player in this field, which of course includes the port industry and others, such as the chambers of industry and commerce.\u201d <\/p>\n

Schilling believes that the Ports of Bremen, Germany’s smallest state, which already boasts a broad range of cargo from containers and cars to bulk goods and project cargo and is currently working intensively to make its ports fit for the future, can become one of Europe\u2019s most significant universal ports.
\n\u201cWe\u2019re renewing 2.6 kilometres of the container quay so the large container ships can continue to be handled competitively,\u201d she explained. This is a significant component of Bremish Ports\u2019 policy. \u201cThe importance of the ports for the economic future of the country has never been greater,\u201d she added with a view to both the current global situation and the Maritime Conference taking place in Bremen in mid-September. \u201cI hope the German government will take more account of this development in future and support the ports fairly, based on their importance. So far, support for all German ports has been 38 million euros per year. I\u2019d like to see another zero added to this sum.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hamburg sees \u201cefficiency gains\u201d as its mainspring<\/h2>\n

A few kilometres to the north-east, Dr Melanie Leonhard, Hamburg\u2019s Senator for Economic Affairs and Innovation, is positive about the joint development steps taken. \u201cHamburg emphatically welcomes the process of drawing up a National Ports Strategy and is actively involved in its development,\u201d she stated. \u201cWe see a fantastic opportunity to reposition national port policy for a successful future.\u201d In this context, she has observed active cooperation on numerous levels and particularly cites joint digitis-ation projects as examples of this. \u201cIn most cases, there\u2019s already cooperation in areas where there are immediate efficiency gains to be made,\u201d Leonhard continued. \u201cYet, it will also be important for the coming years to describe in concrete terms the role of the ports for foreign trade, and for Germany as a whole, in a national port strategy. This will give a clearer nationwide approach that can lead to additional cooperation.\u201d With this in mind, she also emphasises the advantages that her location can contribute. \u201cHamburg is the most important German seaport,\u201d she added. \u201cAs a universal port with outstanding hinterland connections, it simultaneously combines logistical advantages with being an industrial and manufacturing location.\u201d[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ module_class=”dtb-sticky” _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.logistics-pilot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Master_APR_500pxDr.-Claudia-Schilling.png” alt=”J\u00f6rg Buck, gesch\u00e4ftsf\u00fchrendes Vorstandsmitglied der Deutsch-Italienischen Handelskammer in Mailand” title_text=”Master_APR_500pxDr.-Claudia-Schilling” align=”center” _builder_version=”4.20.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.2″ text_text_color=”#003a7c” text_orientation=”center” custom_padding=”||25px||false|false” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n

\u201cCompetition in a very small area makes little sense\u201d<\/h2>\n

It is in the nature of things that people who are firmly anchored in day-to-day business often have a somewhat different perspective on an issue. For Christoph Holtkemper, board member of Bremischen Hafen- und Logistikvertretung (BHV), cooperation is only one possible answer to better survive in competition. He indicates that, although the ports on the Elbe and Weser have always been characterised by a strong competitive spirit, shipping agents from Asia, for example, often regard the German coast as a cohesive economic region. <\/p>\n

\u201cConsequently, competition in a very small area, especially in container handling, makes little sense,\u201d he said. Moreover, the idea of cooperation has already been practised for years by medium-sized companies in Bremen and Bremerhaven and has been established successfully in other ports too. \u201cI speak here for the BHV member companies, in particular, that not only provide their logistics services right on our doorstep, but that have also successfully gained a foothold in other ports, thanks to their expertise,\u201d added Holtkemper. He also sees JadeWeserPort as another example of successful cooperation. \u201cThis is the only German port capable of handling fully unloaded large container ships, which is not possible at the terminals on the Elbe and Weser. It therefore has a central role within the framework of cooperation between ports in northern Germany,\u201d he emphasised. \u201cOur government must take over the neutral cooperation and provide significantly more money for the infrastructure of the German ports,\u201d added Holtkemper regarding the role he feels politicians should play. <\/p>\n

No intervention in market-based mechanisms<\/h2>\n

For Eduard Dubbers-Albrecht, President of the Bremen Chamber of Commerce, an essential prerequisite for successful cooperation between northern German seaports is that a common will exists, even beyond party and state borders. \u201cAs far as the Bremen Chamber of Commerce is concerned, only entrepreneurial decisions should pave the way for such a cooperation,\u201d he stated, commenting on the possible merger of the two major container terminal operators, Eurogate and HHLA, which is currently officially on hold due to the war in Ukraine and ongoing logistics problems. \u201cDirect political influence would mean interfering with market-based mechanisms.\u201d Alongside this, he also believes that Berlin should contribute more financially to the port costs. “German seaports are in our country\u2019s interest in terms of foreign trade and energy policy, meaning they are of national importance,\u201d he continued. \u201cThis is already the case in Germany, even if there is certainly still room for improvement,\u201d he added, now commenting on the current state of port cooperation in Germany. He feels that if Germany\u2019s coastal states were to establish a common coordination agency for the affairs of northern German seaports, this could boost development in this process.

In the spirit of a northern German port strategy<\/h2>\n

In December 2022, the state and senate chancelleries, the ministers for Economic Affairs and the Environment from Hamburg, Schleswig-Holstein and Lower Saxony, and the German government agreed on a joint approach to sediment management. It was determined that, alongside the existing transfer sites, an increased amount of sediment should initially be transferred to the North Sea (Tonne E3). This measure will be implemented until such times as Schleswig-Holstein can issue a follow-up permit beginning in mid-2023, a solution that is initially intended to replace shipment in the Outer Elbe area. \u201cIt\u2019s important that we have made Lower Saxony\u2019s position clear,\u201d said Lower Saxony\u2019s Minister of Economic Affairs Olaf Lies in December 2022. \u201cWe don\u2019t want to and must not make Hamburg\u2019s sediment problems ours. However, the Port of Hamburg is extremely important for Lower Saxony in terms of the northern German port strategy, which is why our central concern is to follow a sustainable and mutually beneficial path.\u201d In conversation with LOGISTICS PILOT recently, Lies further confirmed that the agreement on sediment management in the tidal Elbe was an important step. \u201cIt underlines the fact that the states affected \u2013 Hamburg, Schleswig-Holstein and Lower Saxony \u2013 wish to work out a viable, long-term silt solution in the Elbe, alongside the German government.
