Bremen and Bremerhaven operators’ plea for infrastructure spending

Heavy logistics firms serving the ports of Bremen and Bremerhaven have warned that inadequate transport infrastructure is becoming an increasingly pressing challenge for project and oversized cargo movements. The condition of roads, bridges and port infrastructure is a major concern for the region’s logistics industry, according to Drewes Group, whose managing director, Patric Drewes, is a member of the presidium of the Bremen Port and Logistics Association (BHV).

Drewes Group highlighted the importance of reliable transport infrastructure for international project and heavy-duty logistics, saying it was essential to functioning supply chains and Germany’s competitiveness as a business location.

Its concerns are reflected in a new survey by BHV, which gathered responses from 72 companies operating in the North Sea coast ports of Bremen and Bremerhaven, operated by bremenports.

“Especially in international project and heavy-duty logistics, we experience every day how important a reliable transport infrastructure is for functioning supply chains and the competitiveness of Germany as a business location,” said Drewes Group.
