■ BREAKBULK
Handling heavy lifts in the Hamburg Metropolitan region
All around Hamburg, many ports are able to handle project cargo. Here is an overview.*
1
Brunsbüttel
The Elbe port in Brunsbüttel, as the biggest universal port in the SCHRAMM Group, pro- vides handling facilities for all kinds of cargo.
For international shipping, the authorized heavy lift Rendsburg Port directly on the Kiel Canal offers the ideal starting point for forward-looking companies with high aspirations, searching for direct access to both the international sea trades, as well as to the European in- land waterway network. The adjacent industrial zone of some 50 hectares, offers sufficient land for settlement, production, handling and storage of high-volume heavy plant, manufactured elements for the wind energy field and classic heavy machinery.
Apart from liquids, various breakbulk and general car- goes, as well as heavy lifts are handled. Both the port’s draft and high crane capacity facilitate clearance of large units. Transit and project shipments are regularly handled in the Elbe port.
With its strategic position on the Elbe at the entrance to the Kiel Canal, Brunsbüttel has direct access to both the North Sea and the Baltic, being connected to the Euro- pean inland waterway network, as well as industrial sites adjacent to the port. In the area of hinterland services, there are efficient transport services with several modes of transport: road, rail, feeder and inland waterway, pro- viding the optimal preconditions for a logistics hub. For multi-modal container services especially, the existing intermodal terminal is an important link in the transport chain and of great importance for container distribution.
