BHV makes appeal to politicians

02.02.2023
BREMEN. In light of the provisional 2022 figures published by the Bremen Ports in December, BHV – Bremische Hafen- und Logistikvertretung – has called for cooperation among North German seaports. “We wish to address the competitive state of German ports, when compared with our major rivals of Rotterdam and Antwerp,” stated Christoph Holtkemper, member of the BHV board at the state press conference on the annual review of the ports. “For this to happen, the federal government must implement fast and well-coordinated measures to infrastructure for all modes of transport.”
