en.Wedoany.com Reported - Germany's Mukran Port has announced an investment of over €25 million (approximately $28.92 million) to expand its Berth 10 into a modern terminal dedicated to heavy and oversized cargo. This expansion aims to enhance the port's strategic role in the energy transition, with the project expected to be completed by spring 2027.

Located on the island of Rügen in the northeastern state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Mukran Port is a key deep-water port and logistics hub in the Baltic Sea region. The core elements of this expansion project include: extending the existing berth from 123 meters to 240 meters; laying a new 50-tonne heavy-duty load-bearing slab; constructing a modern roll-on/roll-off ramp; adding supporting logistics and storage space; and optimizing power and lighting infrastructure to support 24/7 operations.

Henry Forster, Managing Director of Mukran Port, stated: "The energy transition requires high-performance port facilities. With this expansion, we are creating the conditions for the requirements of modern offshore wind projects and ensuring the long-term competitiveness of the Mukran Port site." It is understood that approximately 71% of the investment for this expansion project is funded by the state government of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, where the port is located.

The development of this heavy-lift terminal is a key step for Mukran Port to further consolidate its core position in offshore wind, heavy-lift transport, and project logistics. Upon completion, the terminal will be able to more efficiently handle oversized and overweight large industrial equipment and wind turbine components, meeting the growing logistics demands of offshore wind projects in the Baltic and North Sea regions.
