More than 6 million tons of goods are handled here every year. Directly on the fairway of the Ems and thus on the sea-going vessel-deep water, large expansion areas offer good future prospects.important tasks at the Emden location are in particular the operation of its own transhipment facilities, the operation of the railway infrastructure and sea locks, the mooring of seagoing vessels in the locks and the organisation of ship waste disposal. Niedersachsen Ports is also active as an energy supply company in the port area, and the seaport of Emden benefits from its good infrastructure, a strong port economy and the corresponding handling facilities.
