Eemshaven - Handelskade Eemshaven

Eemshaven is a relatively recent port. In 1973, this deep-sea port is officially opened by H.M. Queen Juliana. It develops hesitantly at first. By the late 1990s, this changes. The port is now fast developing into a logistic hub in the sea routes of northwest Europe. A fast increasing number of businesses are establishing in the port complex. Eemshaven is a full-service port.
Eemshaven is a multi-modal complex with high-quality industrial and logistic facilities. The port offers every provision for storage and transhipment of bulk goods, both wet and dry. With its high draught, short transit times and extensive facilities, Eemshaven is a fully-fledged deep-sea port. The port has a modern roll-on/roll-off terminal very close to the sea and offers full container handling facilities.

Handelskade Eemshaven is the area between the Julianaharbour and the Emmaharbour as well as the area to the west of the Emmaharbour. The commercial quay is 1150 meters long and three large stevedoring companies have established here: Royal Wagenborg, Sealane Coldstorage and Veem & Factor, which store and transship paper, frozen fish and meat products, sugar and general cargo. On a regular base the quay is also used to projects and other logistic activities, for example completing large cruise ships of the Meyer Werft. At the northern part of the Emmaharbour AG Ems has a passenger service to the German Wadden Islands of Borkum and Helgoland. Furthermore a few small and medium sized enterprises have been established in Service Centre Eemshaven and next to that the seafarers house and the rescue squad are situated here as well.
