First Hapag-Lloyd vessel in Wilhelmshaven


On 13 June 2023, the almost 20,000 teu "Al Zubara" made the first-ever call of a Hapag-Lloyd-owned vessel in the FE2 service at the Container Terminal Wilhelmshaven (CTW). It is part of the regular rotation of the "FE2" service in the sailing schedule of the partners in the Alliance (Hapag-Lloyd, Ocean Network Express, Yang Ming and Hyundai Merchant Marine) which has been calling Jade Weser Port since April.

 

Currently, investments are being made to automate the container terminal’s infrastructure. Besides the installation of cranes, the Rail Terminal Wilhelmshaven (RTW), in which Hapag-Lloyd holds a 50% stake, has been electrified and two new tracks have been added to the facility.

 

Joerg Sonne, head of Hapag-Lloyd’s Region North Europe: "We view it as an advantage that we can offer our customers two gateways to Germany, offering them a choice of flexible routes for efficient cargo transports." (lh)
