Massive cargo ship call: 5,500 tons of steel pipes in Wilhelmshaven!”

At the Südwestkai in Wilhelmshaven, the cargo ship “Beatrix” has impressive buildings today5,500 tons of steel pipesdeleted. This cargo not only represents a significant transshipment for the port, but also shows how versatile Wilhelmshaven has become as a location. The Nordfrost company organizes the entire transshipment and ensures that the pipes are transported further into the hinterland. Thanks to the tide-free location of the Südwestkai, also known as Nordfrostkai, ship calls can be easily planned regardless of the tide - particularly advantageous for heavy and project cargo.

The “Beatrix”, a154 meter long ship, was used by Wagenborg Shipping Bv and came directly from Greece after passing through Spain.

The throughput figures clearly show that the port is steadily increasing in comparison to other German North Sea ports when it comes to liquid bulk goods and new vehicles. The data and comprehensive statistics show that the port is seeing an upward trend in diversified goods flows and different ship sizes - a clear indication that there is a lot of potential here.

The infrastructural investments and the expansion of the terminals are currently costing a lot of time and money, but these measures are urgently needed to keep up with the competition. In addition to the handling of steel pipes, car freighters, bulk carriers and container ships are regularly handled at the Südwestkai.
