Wilhelmshaven

Wilhelmshaven is Germany’s only deep water port. This is why the container hub “JadeWeserPort” – Container Terminal Wilhelmshaven (CTW) is being constructed here.
Wilhelmshaven is an energy hub, and a location for the chemical industry and state-of-the-art maritime technology. Science is also at home here with research institutes for marine biology, marine chemistry, marine engineering and wind power, not to mention the Jade University of Applied Sciences.
The Wilhelmshaven deep water port is officially classified as a “priority location for port and energy industries”. The main focus of the maritime industry is in the following sectors:

Port operation and logistics
Energy and chemical industry
Marine and offshore engineering
Marine research

Industrial sites

Relocation sites
The industrial sites available in Wilhelmshaven are characterised by large industrial plots located directly adjacent to the deep navigable channel. They are mainly attractive to companies which require navigable channels deep enough to handle ocean-going ships, as well as industrial operations which require large amounts of land. There is plenty of land available here for further development.
The “JadeWeserPort” – Container Terminal Wilhelmshaven (CTW) which will start operation in August 2012, expands the site availability in a very special way – 160 hectares are now available for the development of the Freight Village. The combination with the container terminal makes this an unprecedented constellation in Germany!

Carsten Feist

The chemical location of Wilhelmshaven sees the Jade-Weser Port and the Container Terminal Wilhelmshaven with their geographical and logistical advantages as an excellent opportunity to strengthen the coastal area as a chemical region. We believe it is a good thing that all the chemical locations are networked in terms of a cluster – with the chemical companies in our region we would like to contribute the extensive areas that are already established as chemical locations to further this development. Together, we are well on our way to achieving this.
