Not just when the damage has been done
For over 110 years, Battermann + Tillery has specialised in the neutral assessment of transport and cargo damage. However, the Bremen-based company is not only consulted as a global expert when damage occurs, but also increasingly when it comes to damage prevention.
Distributors between the ports
Companies such as Glomb in Bremerhaven, Weets in Emden or Beeken in Hamburg are specialists in intelligent container logistics and guarantee efficient networking between the key German seaports.

Main Topic
Cooperation as a crisis strategy?
The maritime industry is facing major challenges, and not only with regard to the energy transition and the transformation to a climate-neutral economy. Market players also have to contend with geopolitical conflicts and cyberattacks. Experts from the Kiel Institute for the World Economy, the Association of German Seaport Operators, the Fraunhofer Centre for Maritime Logistics and Services and the German Maritime Institute view this explosive cocktail from their respective standpoints – and have various ideas for cooperation.
Moving giants
No matter whether they are tall, wide or heavy – companies that are competing for customers in project logistics, the break-bulk segment or for high-and-heavy orders are currently facing numerous challenges. Feedback from selected experts at BBC Chartering, Karl Gross, Cuxport, Atlantik Hafenbetriebe and J. MÜLLER shows that, above all, current geopolitical developments, rising costs and weakening economies require a great deal of flexibility and courage from those concerned.
Optimism, a wave of new builds and record holders
Firstly, the good news: according to the Logistics Indicator published by the Federal Association of Association (BVL) in December 2024, the logistics industry can once again look forward to a brighter future, even though the general situation remains unsettled.
Logistics Story
Distributors between the ports
Companies such as Glomb in Bremerhaven, Weets in Emden or Beeken in Hamburg are specialists in intelligent container logistics and guarantee efficient networking between the key German seaports.
Cuxhaven advances the energy transition
Deutsches Offshore-Industrie-Zentrum in Cuxhaven has assumed a prominent role in wind power expansion in the North Sea and the associated energy transition. Construction of the new berths 5 to 7, in particular, plays a key role and is due to be completed by 2028.
Time to go green
Brake Port is a hive of activity for both transshipment and sustainability, with projects ranging from fields of flowers and the recently completed full transition to LED lights at NPorts, to construction of Lower Saxony’s largest rooftop photovoltaic system at port logistics specialist J. MÜLLER.

Point of View
Digitalisation
Understanding language
Digital voice assistants such as Siri and Alexa have been around for years, but such technology can also have applications in shipping. The Fraunhofer Centre for Maritime Logistics and Services (CML) has developed the “Mar FM” speech recognition system, which is by far not only applicable in the maritime industry.
Container overboard
With a novel combination of a tracking unit and a communication platform, Jade University aims to make it easier to locate containers lost at sea in future.
Digital coffee
Coffee logistics has been the bread and butter of the long-standing Vollers company in Bremen for more than 90 years. But digital services such as a digital marketplace and, more recently, a global auction platform and its corresponding interfaces have become increasingly important.

Sustainability
Wind power in the wave flume
Looking into the future is already possible in the Large Wave Flume of the Coastal Research Center in Hannover-Marienwerder. Researchers are currently testing the jacket structure of an offshore wind turbine with a total height in excess of 300 metres in one of the world’s largest wave flumes.
New horizons for wind power projects
BLG and EUROGATE have pooled their expertise in Bremerhaven and are collaborating on projects for wind power components used in onshore and offshore projects – now under the brand name Eco Power Port. At the same time, BLG is further expanding its established transshipment business for onshore wind turbines at Neustädter Hafen.
Pioneers together
Hydrogen plays a key role in the energy transition as an energy source, as a storage medium and as a replacement for fossil fuels, which is why Robert Habeck, the Federal Minister for Economic Affairs, and several state ministers for economic affairs issued grants for 23 extraordinary, forward-looking hydrogen projects in Germany in July. Twelve of those are based in Lower Saxony and Bremen.

Not just when the damage has been done
For over 110 years, Battermann + Tillery has specialised in the neutral assessment of transport and cargo damage. However, the Bremen-based company is not only consulted as a global expert when damage occurs, but also increasingly when it comes to damage prevention.
Diversification as an open secret to success
In November, the Anker Schiffahrt company celebrated its 60th anniversary in Emden – and therefore six decades in which the fully owned Leschaco subsidiary has continued to expand its range of services for the automotive and paper industries as well as its expertise in port services.
Dealing with severe weather
As part of their strategic planning, companies are increasingly having to deal with the effects of climate change. What does this mean for wind turbine manufacturer Enercon?
