history
For almost 100 years, port shipping remained the family's core business. Kurt Eckelmann (1916–1994; great-grandson of the founder Cordt Eckelmann) then built the most important and nowadays only private container terminal in Germany within a few years from 1961.
Since the mid-1980s, Thomas Eckelmann has been developing the company into the largest owner-managed port company in Europe. 1987/88 the terminal area was through the acquisition of Holzmüller seaport operation KGaA and Stauereibetriebs PCO Paetz & Co. expanded. After taking over the BP site in 1996 and then filling in the Griesenwerder port , the terminal was expanded further. By 2002, an operating area of 1,100,000 m² and a quay of 2,100 m in length with seven deep-water berths had been created. This increases the handling capacity to 2 million TEU (container units).
