Overview
- The red‑green government set out plans to expand and modernize seaports across Cuxhaven, Emden and Wilhelmshaven.
- An additional €375 million will be invested this year, with about €200 million allocated for a new berth in Wilhelmshaven.
- Work has begun on expanding the offshore port in Cuxhaven, and a new berth for large vessels is underway in Emden.
- The state parliament approved an SPD and Greens motion to examine permanent increases in port funding and stronger hinterland connections.
- The CDU labeled the plans too vague after its own motion failed, urging the government to move from reviews to immediate implementation.
