Everything about Jadeweserport totally explained
JadeWeserPort is the name of
Germany's largest
harbour project supported by the federal states of
Lower Saxony and
Bremen.
This new
container port will be located at
Wilhelmshaven at the
Jadebusen, an inlet at the
North Sea coast. It will have a natural water depth in excess of 18 m and
container ships with a length of 430 m and 16,5 m draught will be able to call the JadeWeserPort at any
tide. Construction works have commenced in March 2008. The first vessels are expected to arrive about 2011.
With only limited commercial activity in Wilhelmshaven's hinterland most containers will need further transportation by
feeder vessels, railway or on the road. Expectations rest with the fact that JadeWeserPort will be the easternmost deep water port in Northern Europe able to berth the largest container vessels in present and future use up to a size of 12,000
TEU (twenty-foot equivalent unit). Therefore, it's hoped that a major share of the overseas container traffic of
Scandinavian and
Baltic nations including the western part of Russia will be handled here (

). Growth rates in container shipping are expected to at least remain at the present 7 % per year.
After a number of delays caused by legal and administrative reasons a court ruling of 8 March 2008 allows for the immediate commencement of construction work. Since than activities have started and a new time table has been issued. According to this plan
land reclamation will start in May and
pile driving for the
wharf in August 2008. It is foreseen to complete at least 1000 meters of the finally 1700 meters of the quay side by fall 2011 and to start port operations at this time. Speedy construction work is required to secure
European Union funds for the project of up to 50 mio €.
