Summary sheet
Construction of a new deep water container terminal in Wilhelmshaven. The new container terminal will have a capacity of 2.7 TEU (twenty-foot equivalent unit) per annum by 2012.
The Project will ameliorate maritime links between member states of the EU and promote sea transport in international transport chains. It will also contribute to regional economic development in the Wilhelmshaven area.
The project falls into Annex I of Directive 97/11/EC and an EIA has been carried out by the promoter. The scoping of the environmental study was undertaken including public participation (i.e. scoping hearing on 16/04/2002)and the scope of the study was set to encompass the construction of both the port and the landside transport connections. The environmental studies were concluded in March 2004 and, together with a non-technical summary, incorporated into the planning approval application. The development consent was delivered in March 2007. The Higher Administrative Court of Lüneburg prescribed several mitigation measures related to the development consent, in particular concerning the protection of a nearby Natura 2000 site.
