en.Wedoany.com Reported - Germany's eight major seaports and inland ports have jointly formed an alliance named "German Seaports" (Deutsche Seehäfen). Members include NPorts, Hamburg Port Authority, Bremenports, Rostock Port, Lübeck Port Authority, Brunsbüttel Ports, Seehafen Kiel, and Duisburger Hafen. Holger Banik of NPorts pointed out that the enormous transformation tasks facing German ports can only be accomplished through cooperation with the federal and state governments.

The alliance stated that the newly established body will serve as a common point of contact for the federal and state governments to address future challenges. These challenges cover the energy transition, infrastructure modernization, and higher demands for resilience and security. Port operators hope that through joint action, ports will be recognized as national critical infrastructure.

The ports are calling on the federal government to play a greater role in funding, particularly in the areas of energy, security, and infrastructure investment. Additionally, the alliance is committed to accelerating planning and approval processes. According to the ports' own estimates, their modernization needs amount to approximately 15 billion euros. The alliance plans to present its position for the first time on June 10 at the Hamburg State Representative Office in Berlin.
