Ports senator Hartmut Perschau said: &#8220;Solid growth is continuing on the Weser&#8221; and predicted it will continue. &#8220;We will definitely pass the 50m tonne mark in 2004&#8221;, he said.<\/p>\n<p>It is expected to go on rising after then and its port strategy is built on that premise because the planners know saturation is not far off.<\/p>\n<p>Hence the decision this year to merge the two halves of the CT 1V container terminal expansion (CT 1V) into one project- &#8220;an absolute necessity&#8221; said Perschau. The single E500m million project will mean four more berths up to 2007\/8 on 1.7 kms of new quay. After that, Weser ports strategy is to join hands with nearby Wilhelmshaven and become a partner in the planned new Jade-Weser Deepwater Port, the hub of which will be in Wilhelmshaven.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Germanys second biggest port complex, Bremen\/Bremerhaven, just missed the 50m tonne handling mark in 2003 but says the record will be broken this year amid further extension of the Bremerhaven Container Terminal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":1462,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[30],"tags":[],"sponsor":[],"class_list":["post-1461","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-europe"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport-congress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1461","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport-congress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport-congress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport-congress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport-congress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1461"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport-congress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1461\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1463,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport-congress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1461\/revisions\/1463"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport-congress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1462"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport-congress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1461"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport-congress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1461"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport-congress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1461"},{"taxonomy":"sponsor","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport-congress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/sponsor?post=1461"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
