JADEWESERPORT, the easternmost deep water port in northern Europe, is to welcome two new services from Danish container shipping giant Maersk Line in its Europe-Central America CRX and Asia-Europe AE-1 services.
The container terminal at Wilhelmshaven in Jade Bay recently opened with its first call of a vessel on the CRX service with the 2,532-TEU Anna Schulte, then a few days later the 7,450-TEU Maersk Laguna on the Europe-ECSA 'Samba' service on an ad hoc call docked to coincide with the official opening of JadeWeserPort (JWP). First call on the AE-1 will be a 9,600-TEU Chastine Maersk.
The AP Moller unit, APM Terminals (AMPT) holds a 30 per cent share in JWP with the remaining held by German Eurogate group. These companies jointly run the North Sea Terminal (NST), Bremerhaven in a 50:50 split operation.
