Osterroenfeld near Rendsburg has been turned into the highest-performance heavy-duty port in Northern Germany. It forms the core of a developing cluster of regenerative energies. The location is ideal for the transshipment of entire wind turbines, as well as the shipment of individual components such as wind turbine rotor blades or towers, or any other heavy-duty cargo.

The port is located in central Schleswig-Hosltein on the Kiel Canal and is directly connected to the German motorway networt via the A 210/7 road.

A special advantage:

Kiel Canal offers access to the entire European inland waterway network, which is becoming an increasing advantage when it comes to the transport of heavy and oversized cargo.

The port is equipped with the currently largest heavy-duty cranes in Nothern Germany. This makes the port very attractive for the producers of very large wind turbines. The port is complemented by a heavy-duty-compatible port area of 2.5 hectares.

Directly adjoining the port is a commercial park extending over 80 hectares, offering ideal site conditions for wind turbine manufacturers. Heavy duty cargo produced on site or transported there can be handled in extensive handling zones.

Transshipment is carried out by experts that have long-standing experience in this field.

The combination of port and commercial park make it possible for the first time to directly use the Kiel Canal as part of a continuous logistics chain.

The highest-performance heavy duty port in Northern Germany is located in Osterroenfeld near Rendsburg right by the Kiel Canal. It forms the core of a developing cluster of regenerative energies, especially wind energy. The port offers ideal site conditions for the transshipment of wind turbines and their components.

The port directly connects to the German highway network and is therefore ideal for the transshipment of heavy duty cargo such as wind turbine components, rotor blades, gearboxes, slewing rings and towers.

Via the Kiel Canal and the Elbe river, the port offers the opportunity to directly access the European inland waterways network. This advantage is increasingly being recognized and utilized in heavy goods transport.

The port is equipped with the currently largest heavy duty cranes in Northern Germany. A heavy duty zone of initially 2.5 hectares and later 6 hectares allow for easy handling, e.g. of complete wind turbines. 

A commercial park of approx. 80 hectares directly adjoins the port, which offers considerable locational advantages to manufacturers of wind turbines or wind turbine components. The real estates close to the port are being contracted at favourable conditions on the basis of building lease contracts.

The combination of port and commercial park make it possible for the first time to directly use the Kiel Canal as part of a continuous logistics chain. There are plans to also enable the transshipment of large numbers of containers.
