Germanys primacy as the clear leader in European logistics remains unchallenged. With over EUR 200 billion
in turnover, Germany far outstrips
its closest EU competitors, France
and the UK. Germany accounts for
just under one quarter of the European logistics market, and roughly
equals the turnover of its two closest EU competitors combined.

Germanys highly educated and dedicated workforce is a particular advantage. With a labor force of over
40 million people, Germany boasts
the EUs largest pool of ready personnel. 81% of that workforce either
holds a university degree or has completed formal vocational training.
By making a commitment to increase
investment in education to 7% of GDP
by 2015, Germany will continue to
produce top-notch talent. Currently,
Germany ranks number two in the EU
in proportion of students engaged in
the sciences, mathematics and engi-

On the Rails
Hamburg is Europes leading railroad port. Railways
are the most important means of transporting goods
from Hamburg. More than 220 daily freight trains with
over 4,300 wagons are fullled through Hamburgs port
rail system. Around 80 rail operators make use of the
port of Hamburgs 330 km-long network of tracks. They
offer a tight web of block train connections throughout
the entire German and European market. Over 12% of
German rail freight begins or terminates from the port
of Hamburg and the prognosis is for growth to over 400
freight trains daily by 2015.
Inland waterways
Germanys largest seaport is also its third largest inland
port. Regular routes throughout the Elbe region are
growing. Several suppliers offer regular liner services
via inland waterway vessel to Berlin, Hannover, Dortmund,
Dresden and many more destinations.
Inland ships have an important role to play in the
transport of goods within the port of Hamburg as
well. They offer an environmentally friendly way to
transport general cargo as containers as well as
mineral oil products and dry bulk goods like coal
and ore.
On the Roads
Truck transport is the obvious choice when exibility in
the distribution of goods is the top factor. The 1,700+ rms
represented in Hamburg offer all manner of road transport
services from containers to combined shipments to
refrigerated goods and heavy-load cargo. This is due
to the density of the highway network surrounding the
Hanseatic city and offering fast connections to all
German and European directions.

Information
Deep-Water Port
Wilhelmshaven /
JadeWeserPort
commences operations
in August 2012
This capacity will establish the port as an important transshipment hub for container trafc between Europe and
Asia, and for feeder trafc to northern Europe, Russia,
Scandinavia and the Baltics.
The port will also serve as a hub for combined transport,
with excellent rail and road links, plus a 160-hectare
logistics service center and a freight village. The ports
six rail tracks and ve rail-loading cranes will be fronted
by a 16-track marshalling yard linking the port to points
throughout Europe. Additionally, the A29 highway terminates right outside the port development trucks can
run straight from the highway to the port without ever
encountering a trafc light.
Construction to be completed by mid-2013 will allow ships
with a draught of 16.5 meters access to the existing port
at Wilhelmshaven. Operations are slated to commence
with the 1,000 m quay in August 2012.

A multitude of rms offer a full range of port and transport-related services, making Stade a standout among
Niedersachsens ports. Among the service offerings are
customs clearance, mooring, turnover and storage of bulk
and general cargo, towing and hazardous goods transport.
The northern section of Stade port is dedicated to bauxite
ofoading, as well as the loading of aluminum oxide and
liquid aluminum hydroxide. The inner harbor can service
ships with a closed conveyor system that runs from the
port storage directly to the ship. Ships of up to 5,000 tons
in capacity can be accommodated with this system; larger
ships can be considered for service with advanced notice.
Finally, the ports surrounding area is the site of much
industrial production that contributes to Stades overall
export trafc. It is a large producer of hydrogen, sodium
hydrochloride and other chemicals. Areva and Prokon,
two major European alternative energy rms, produce
rotor blades for use in wind energy facilities in Stade.

Schleswig-Holstein is a logistics
location of great strategic signicance due to the advantages that
arise from its ideal geographic
position. The dynamic development
of the southwest Baltic Sea region
only strengthens Schleswig-Holsteins
vital transit role as a hinge linking
the Baltic region to Western Europe.
The completion of the Fehrmarn
crossing between Germany and
Denmark will provide the region
with even more of a tailwind. A
multitude of varying trafc and
transport possibilities combined
with efcient land use and futurecentric development put SchleswigHolstein in pole position within
Germanys logistics landscape.
