This allround port is situated in the northern part of

Niedersachsen on the sea ship navigable waters of the

River Elbe, between Hamburg and Cuxhaven.

On land, a great infrastructure connects to the

Elbe-Weser region and the metropolitan region of

Hamburg. Measured by cargo handling volume, it is

the third largest port in Niedersachsen.

The vast majority of cargo handling is performed by

locally-based companies. There are a total of approxi-

mately 2,700 employees in this port area.

In recent years, sea freight and barge transshipments

have continuously increased to some 7 million metric

tons, and bauxite and chemical commodities are

dominating the product spectrum.

The outlook paper for the Port of Stade pursues the

goal of confirming the successful development of the

port location and to promote such development with

appropriate measures. To accomplish this, the port is

divided into four plan sections. Development paths

are sketched for each section, and adequate recom-

mendations for action are deduced.

Cargo Handling

Between 2011 and 2019, the sea freight and barge

transshipments of the Port of Stade increased from

5.9 million to 7 million metric tons. In Stade, the

cargo handling of sea freight is dominated by

bauxite, ores, and chlorine chemical products, such

as propylene oxide, propylene glycol, solvents,

tetrachloroethylene, polyurethanes, and soda lye.

Cargo handling in the barge sector in Stade is clear-

ly dominated by the export (shipping) of aluminum

oxide and hydroxide. Since 2011, the volumes have

been above 700 thousand metric tons.

The development bandwidth for the future sea freight

handling until 2040 will be at a value between 6.4 mil-

lion and 7.15 million metric tons, plus some 1.2 milli-

on tons in barge transshipments. Even in the future,

such cargo handling will continue to be dominated

by bauxite and chemical products.

Sea Freight Handling in Million Tons

Potential of the LNG Market

Potential of the Site Stade

› Creation of an alternative energy source through

the LNG terminal on site

› Import/onward shipping of LNG supports the local

and domestic energy supply

› Potential for the handling of other liquefied gases,

such as hydrogen, propylene, ethylene

› For a significant contribution to security of supply

and diversification of sources of supply:

› Natural gas volume of 5 billion cubic meters as

the lower limit,

› An annual capacity of up to 15 billion cubic

meters is conceivable

› Establishment in the German LNG market without

significant competitive pressure conceivable, even

with market participation of other sites

Demand for Development and Variants

Plan Area 1: Nordpier

Plan Area 4: Jetty for Liquefied GasesPlan Area 2: Nordhafen / Expansion

Backfilling of about 270,000 cubic meters at the shore area

(multi-purpose)

Laying of 5 km rail track with connection to the public rail grid

Construction of a quay wall of ca. 1,100 m in length

Potential interim solution:The manufacture of berm and seawall

coupure for 1.0 km of rail track construction

Connection of the port expansion space located at the northern area around the AOS Area

› Maintenance measures are earmarked› No structural changes or extensions are

necessary

Plan Area 3: Südhafen

Installation of a new

discharge head

Enlargement of the mole as hydraulic steel construction:› Deconstruction of the mole

section of approx. 150 m at the entrance area

› New construction of a 250 m mole section

Enlargement of the shore-side discharge head for

liquid gas transshipment

Construction of approximately 600 m of sheet piling as a protective wall

New construction of a 100 m discharge headfor loading and unloading facilities

Construction of a 300 m sheet piling section and some 16 pile moorings

Stade is

› With some 6.5 million tons of cargo handling each

year the third largest transshipment location in

Niedersachsen

› An inland shipping and maritime port,

› A location for major companies, such as DOW,

OLIN, Trinseo, and FMC, as well as the aluminum

oxide and hydroxide manufacturer AOS.

Stade offers

› A location for local production with a very high

value-added density,

› Advantages, such as an existing connection to the

German natural gas grid, synergies with the Stade

chem-coast park and close vicinity to the Hanseatic

City of Hamburg.

Stade expects

› A successful expansion of our market position,

› A demand-oriented further development of the

supply structure of the port.

Stade achieves its goals by

› Continuously maintaining and adapting the

Nordpier (North Pier),

› Carefully developing the facilities at the Südhafen

(Southern Port)

› Expanding the space of the Nordhafen (Northern

Port) and providing the appropriate connection to

the rail grid,

› Providing a new jetty for the import and onward

shipping of LNG and additional liquid gases,

› Expanding the hinterland connections with the

requisite infrastructure in a demand-driven

manner.

Conclusion

Acting sustainably and the commitment to further

develop environmental standards within the port

operation are things that are implemented by NPorts

even today; all activities within this context are con-

solidated under the hafen+ brand and comprise any

economic, social, and environmental measures that

lead to the goal of a sustainable port management.

Sustainable action in the port industry generally re-

quires the following measures or requisites:

Construction

› Implementation of an energy efficient construction

method

› Use of sustainable building materials

› Resource-conserving use of building materials

› Consideration of transport distance and the choice

of means of transport in the evaluation of tenders

for construction material deliveries (e.g. asphalt

delivery)

Operation

› Continued granting of discounts for environmen-

tally friendly ships that fulfill high environmental

standards

› Electronic traffic guidance systems: Streamlining

of transport processes, reduction of waiting times

at the gates (reduction of pollutant and noise

emissions)

› Record keeping and proper disposal of ship-gene-

rated wastes

› Use of low-emission handling equipment: Use of

electric motors, encapsulation of the motors for

soundproofing

› Use of renewable energies (photovoltaics, wind

energy) for the supply of port areas

› Use of LED technology for lighting

› Use of environmentally friendly vehicles, such as

natural gas or electric vehicles

› Thermal insulation of buildings

› Process-driven optimization of the duration of the

devices under electric power (e.g. in the conveyor

technology)

› Recycling of process water

› Work processes within the office building (if

necessary)

› Utilization of electric devices with low power

consumption

› Waste separation

› Use of recycled paper

During the assessment of developmental variants,

we are identifying primarily those measures from

the list above that are best suited to aid in the mini-

mization of environmental pollution within the port

areas.
