INTRODUCTION 3 WE GET HEAVY WEIGHTS MOVING WHATEVER THEIR SHAPE OR SIZE. Hafen ESSEN: GOOD FOR YOUR GOODS Historic stroke of luck for the logistics business When Bischof Altfried von Hildesheim founded the convent of Essen in the year 851 A.D. he probably did not expect that he was at the same time laying the foundation stone for a location which, from the present-day point of view, could not be more ideal for logistic purposes. A lot of water still was to flow under the bridges across the Ruhr before Essen became what it is today. But the favourable location made sure that the original village settlement would one day grow into a major city with a current population of around 571,000 and thus become a central location for the port, which, today, is known as Hafen Essen. 1.2 million square metres the area of the port of Essen Hafen Essen a central distribution centre for goods The construction of the Rhine-Herne canal and the operational start-up of Hafen Essen optimised the infrastructure of the region, which was already good. With its obstacle-free links to rail and road the port of Essen quickly developed into a central hub for the transport of a wide range of bulk goods. These could be heavy goods which many times exceed the weight of even an elephant, or wet and dry bulk cargo Hafen Essen provides ideal conditions for all of them.
4 LOCATION WE OFFER THE GATEWAY TO THE WORLD RIGHT ON YOUR DOORSTEP. THE RIGHT LOCATION FOR YOUR GOODS Well thought-out infrastructure The port of Essen is located in the heart of the Ruhr region. With a population of more than five million and an area of approx. 4,435 square kilometres it is the largest conurbation in Germany and the fifth biggest in Europe. Many companies and corporate groups, a lot of them global players, have made the region their base. No wonder, because the infrastructure is without equal and provides these companies with clear competitive advantages due to target markets within easy reach a fact to which Hafen Essen with its excellent transport links makes a strong contribution. From Hafen Essen to the world Companies that do business internationally need international connections not just personal connections but also transport links. Hafen Essen corresponds exactly to these needs. The waterways linking to the North Sea, thus the so called ARA ports (Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Antwerp), as well as to the Baltic and Mediterranean Sea, open up the gateway to the whole world. By the way, only approx. 35 % of all goods which are transported are urgent, which makes waterways the ideal mode of transport for the remaining cargo. No traffic jams, no overloaded rail networks. For just-in-time transport.
