The Delta Port GmbH & Co. KG is a haven composite on the Lower Rhine , which in 2012 by merging three public waterfront areas in the district of Wesel was formed. Specifically, these are the port of Emmelsum in the city of Voerde , the Rhine-Lippe port of Wesel and the city port of Wesel . The three port areas are located between Rhine kilometers 813.24 and 815.90 near the mouth of the Lippe and the Wesel-Datteln Canal and achieved a total throughput of around 3.7 million tons in 2019 . The largest trading partners are the Dutch seaports ( Amsterdam , Rotterdam and Antwerp ).
The core task of DeltaPort GmbH & Co KG is the market-driven provision, development and maintenance of space and infrastructure in the area of the three ports and rail operations. The aim is to market these developed areas to commercial and industrial companies as well as users with an affinity for ports.
Development to the port company "DeltaPort GmbH & Co. KG"
DeltaPort GmbH & Co. KG has its origins in Rhein-Lippe-Hafen Wesel GmbH. Until the beginning of the nineties, Rhein-Lippe-Hafen Wesel GmbH was only a municipal company operating the Rhein-Lippe-Hafen Wesel. The first major step towards DeltaPort then took place in 1993.
Against the background of the serious collapse in mining and in particular due to the results of the " coal round " in 1991, the region faced a radical structural change that is still ongoing today. Because of this, a cross-community concept for the mobilization of industrial and commercial areas in the so-called “Lippe estuary” was developed. At the time, this concept included not only the immediate activation of industrial and commercial areas in the Voerde-Emmelsum and Hünxe-Bucholtwelmen areas, but also the medium-term development of an industrial and commercial area at the Rhine-Lippe port of Wesel.
In addition to the marketing of the areas in the “Lippe estuary”, there were also considerations in the following years to optimize the port locations. Against the background that two shareholders of Rhein-Lippe-Hafen Wesel GmbH, namely the district of Wesel and the city of Wesel, operated two other ports (Emmelsum port, Wesel city port) in the immediate vicinity of the Rhine-Lippe port, thoughts were about one closer cooperation between the ports is obvious. In addition, the structural change and the economic development of the region into a logistics location called for an update.
This gave rise to the need to advance the development of the Lower Rhine ports on the basis of a master plan that was to evaluate the port infrastructures on the Lower Rhine, present development scenarios and identify opportunities for cooperation and networking. The creation of the master plan “Port Cooperation NiederRhein” was a project in which the most important ports of the Lower Rhine worked together. These were Port Emmelsum (Port Emmelsum), Rhein-Lippe-Hafen Wesel GmbH (Rhein-Lippe-Hafen Wesel), Stadtwerke Wesel GmbH ( Stadthafen Wesel ), duisport (Port Duisburg) , NIAG ( NIAG Port Orsoy) ) and Stadtwerke Emmerich GmbH ( Port of Emmerich ). The aim of the master plan was to create a basis for a market-oriented promotion of the expansion and use of the port infrastructures on the Lower Rhine. The master plan “Port Cooperation Lower Rhine” was drawn up by the Fraunhofer Institute for Material Flow and Logistics and published in mid-2010.
As a result of the results worked out in the master plan, the first step was to establish the new joint port company. The new port company should have certain characteristics. This included in particular that only those municipalities should be involved in the new port company on whose territory there is a port basin . Furthermore, it should be ensured that the port company would at all times be predominantly controlled by the public sector. The basis of the joint port company was to be the Rhein-Lippe-Hafen Wesel GmbH, in which the shareholders were already involved, who were also to participate in the new port company.
Subsequently, on June 20, 2012, the shareholders of Hünxe and the city of Dinslaken were separated from Rhein-Lippe-Hafen GmbH, and the new port company "DeltaPort GmbH & Co. KG" and "DeltaPort VerwaltungsGmbH" were founded on August 24, 2012 by means of a conversion resolution .
The transfer of the ports of Emmelsum and Wesel city port as well as commercial and industrial properties of the city of Wesel at the port location Rhein-Lippe-Hafen Wesel should follow immediately. The conclusion of a consortium agreement as well as the contribution processes then took place at the end of August 2013 with retroactive effect from January 1, 2013.
Meaning of company logo
The name of the port company has the following meaning. The term " Delta " comes from the Greek . The Greeks compared the shape of the mouth of the Nile ( triangle ) with the shape of the capital letter of the same name in their alphabet (?). Just like the triangle of the delta, DeltaPort GmbH & Co. KG consists of three port areas or shareholders. According to the Duden, “port” is a place of security and security and is used synonymously for harbor or landing stage.
The DeltaPort GmbH logo shows three circles, which are supposed to symbolize the three port locations or the three partners of the port cooperation. The white lines that run through the three circles represent the Rhine in stylized form and connect the circles with one another. In a figurative sense, the three ports become one unit as a port network. The color blue stands for the water / Rhine on which the port is located. The color green stands for nature / the meadows and fields of the Lower Rhine . The color brown symbolizes the port, logistics and traffic.
Emmelsum harbor
history
The port of Emmelsum was built between 1969 and 1972 in what was then the Dinslaken district on Voerder's urban area in the Emmelsum district . The reason was the establishment of an aluminum factory by Kaiser-Preussag-Aluminum GmbH & Co. KG.
The raw materials should be delivered via the port. In the course of the municipal reorganization in 1975, the port fell to the newly founded Wesel district, which organized it into its own operation.
Current
The trimodal (water, road, rail) port of Emmelsum developed into a container and general cargo port as a result of the later settlement of a paper manufacturer and a logistics company. It has an enclosed suction device for bulk goods and a total of three gantry cranes with a load capacity of 50 tons each. In the area of the three crane systems, the port basin has quay walls with a total length of 715 meters. The bed level corresponds to that of the Rhine, so that every ship passing through the Rhine can call at the port of Emmelsum. The size of the harbor basin allows 6-person push unit units.
The port of Emmelsum has a settlement area of approx. 41 ha, 20 ha are currently occupied and 21 ha are available as expansion areas.
The port of Emmelsum also has its own rail infrastructure with a total length of 13 kilometers. With this siding, the port area and the Hünxe-Bucholtwelmen industrial area will be connected to the Deutsche Bahn rail network via the Oberhausen - Spellen railway , independent of the Oberhausen - Emmerich railway in Oberhausen .
In 2019, the total throughput (ship and rail) in the port of Emmelsum was 1,752,896 tons.
Rhine-Lippe port of Wesel
history
In 1950, the city of Wesel took up the concept for the construction of an industrial and transshipment port in the "Lippe estuary", which had already been discussed at the beginning of the century and was not implemented mainly due to the two world wars. The port was not actually built until the end of the 1950s, when Gelsenberg Petrol AG built a large mineral oil handling facility in order to be able to supply the industrial facilities at the company's headquarters in Gelsenkirchen by pipeline . In 1960 the port expansion was completed, through which a transshipment facility for mineral oil products and a tank farm could be put into operation. Since then, the Rhein-Lippe-Hafen Wesel has been used exclusively for handling mineral oil products.
Current
The Rhein-Lippe-Hafen Wesel is currently a transshipment port for mineral oil products and heavy goods. The port location has a discharge bridge with two loading facilities for handling liquid goods . The bed level corresponds to that of the Rhine, so that every ship passing through the Rhine can call at the Rhine-Lippe port of Wesel. The size of the harbor basin also allows ship sizes up to 6-person push unit .
In 2019, the volume of ships handled was 509,943 tons.
The Rhein-Lippe-Hafen has an embankment bank with a total length of 1,350 m and a quay with a total length of 300 meters. A total of 81 hectares are available for settlement, 16 hectares of which are already occupied, 20 hectares can be marketed immediately and the remaining 45 hectares are to be developed for commercial and industrial use.
Wesel city harbor
history
The first documented mention of ship trading in the city of Wesel , at that time still on the Lippe , was made around 1355. In 1650, the first port basin was built on the Rhine. In 1896 a second harbor basin was built. This initially had the main function of a shelter and security port. The older port area was then backfilled in 1927. After the considerable destruction as a result of the Second World War, the urban Rhine port of Wesel has been in operation again since 1950. Mainly mineral bulk goods , animal feed and mineral oil products are handled in the urban Rhine port of Wesel .
Current
The trimodal (water, road, rail) connected city port has developed into a transshipment port for agricultural goods, bulk and bulk goods as well as liquid goods in recent years . Due to the lack of expansion areas, the city harbor is to be retained and strengthened in its current function.
The city port of Wesel has a mobile excavator, a mineral oil handling system , conveyor belts , a suction system for bulk goods, various conveyor belts and an enclosed salt loading system. The plant also has a quay wall with a total length of 815 meters.
The city port of Wesel has its own rail infrastructure with a total length of around five kilometers. The connection to the German rail network takes place in Wesel station on the Oberhausen - Arnhem railway line .
The total throughput (ship and rail) in 2019 was 1,397,470 tons.
