The Port of Wilhelmshaven, Germany’s third-largest seaport, is not only a key hub for energy imports, but also home to the country’s only deep-water container terminal, the JadeWeserPort, complete with an adjacent freight logistics center.

Located on the western side of the Jade Bay, between the Weser and Ems rivers, the port is divided into an outer harbor and a tide-independent inner harbor, accessible via a sea lock. Short approach routes allow for the rapid handling of vessels of all sizes.

Wilhelmshaven serves as an important import port for crude oil and a major transshipment hub for petroleum products, coal, and chemical goods. Another key focus area is the handling and storage of temperature-controlled cargo. The port also offers excellent conditions as a base, service, and logistics hub for the offshore wind industry. The JadeWeserPort enables the handling of the world’s largest container ships – tide-independently and 24/7 – and provides attractive development opportunities for logistics companies and port-related service providers. The automobile handling sector is also developing dynamically.

With its geographically and nautically ideal location and diverse specializations, the Port of Wilhelmshaven fully leverages its infrastructural advantages. Its excellent road and rail connections ensure fast and efficient transport of goods to and from the port.
