history
Benefiting from its location on the Rhine benefited Emmerich am Rhein early from the cruise . In 1670 the city built a security harbor at its own expense in order to offer the ships protection against floods and ice. In the winter of 1864/1865 there was no longer enough space for all ships seeking protection, so the Rhine boatmen asked for a new port to be built.
Industrial port
The construction was approved in 1885/86 and a new harbor basin with a special entrance from the Rhine was built. In 1904 the security port was expanded to become a trading and transshipment point. For this purpose, a shipyard was built for the first time and sidings were laid. Two years later, in 1906, it was expanded into an industrial port. During the Second World War , large parts of the port and the two 3 and 6 ton cranes were badly damaged. Reconstruction followed. After the 6-ton crane had been restored, crane operations were resumed on November 4, 1946. On September 25, 1959 a new 5 ton crane was purchased. This investment represented the climax of the reconstruction. In 1963 the further expansion of the industrial port was approved. A 200 meter long sheet pile wall was erected, the bottom of the port was lowered to 6.5 meters above sea level and the port basin was widened to 80 meters. In addition, a new industrial site was created. The first container transport was then carried out in 1968. At that time, however, the existing cranes could only handle 8-foot containers, which turned out to be a disadvantage compared to other ports. After the construction of a modern container handling facility with a load capacity of 30 to 40 tons had already been examined in 1968, the City Council of Emmerich decided on May 20, 1969 to set up such a large container handling facility. In 1973 it started operations. 1982 to 1984 further investments followed in the expansion of the port. The sheet pile wall was doubled so that two ships can be emptied at the same time since then.
Dornick harbor
The port in Dornick was built from 1966 and was used militarily from 1969 by a pioneer unit stationed in the Moritz von Nassau barracks. Also in 1969 Dornick was incorporated into the city of Emmerich . On June 30, 2008, the site was given up and demilitarized, and the surrounding area was rededicated to the Port Dornick nature reserve in 2013 .
Infrastructure
Dornick harbor
The port of Dornick has been fallow since 2008. It can be used by sport boats, for example muscle vehicles. In the future, civilian use of the front area for environmentally friendly water tourism is planned.
Industrial port
Today the industrial port facility in the Löwenberger Landwehr covers around 35,000 square meters. Some of them are operated by Rhein-Waal-Terminal GmbH (RWT), which was founded in 1987. The core business is overseas container transport . With a quay length of 280 + 40 meters, there are two berths and two container cranes with a load capacity of up to 50 tons for container loading. These each have m an outreach of 80 and span the there out on the pier two sidings . The so-called reefer connections required for refrigerated containers are not yet available there.
The Oleon Chemie pier is 300 meters further east . Two motorized goods ships can also be handled at the same time on 240 meters of sloped bank . The transhipment facilities there specialize in liquid goods, and pipelines lead across the railway line directly to the factory premises. To the east there is a third transshipment point in the Löwenberger Landwehr . This belongs to the Deutsche Giessdraht Gesellschaft , has its own slewing crane on a quay length of 110 m and also has a rail connection right up to the pier.
An expansion of the terminal is planned on the eastern side of the harbor basin and a third container bridge is to be built there. Since the area is a fauna-flora-habitat area (FFH), extensive approval procedures are required until the area can be rededicated as a special port area .
State port
The state port is also called the fiscal port of Emmerich. There are only limited transhipment possibilities in the eastern area. A small ship up to 50 meters in length can be handled on an inclined bank with a 6-ton slewing crane. Otherwise there are berths on dolphins for a few more ships, power connections and several public transport connections, each a few hundred meters away. The waterways and shipping office Duisburg-Rhein uses the western area and maintains its own jetties for work boats, fire-fighting boats, etc. In the western area of the state port, the main customs office in Duisburg also has a branch office, which does not have its own pier.
Rhine promenade
There are three jetties on the Rhine promenade that are used by passenger ships. The excursion and river cruise will find a wide range of local gastronomy directly at the pier when going ashore . Nearby parking spaces for coaches make it easier to change, the entrances are barrier-free and the nearest public transport connection is only 80 meters into town.
Johnson Lands
This pier was built as a works harbor (Unichema, then Johnson Chemical , today OLEO) A ship up to 135 m in length can be handled there, another one waiting in the roadstead . The handling facilities of this chemical port are specially set up for liquid goods. Pipelines lead directly to the factory premises. There is no rail or road connection there.
Marina
About a kilometer downstream, already west of the Emmerich Rhine bridge , you will find the entrance to an oxbow lake on the right . About 700 m to the north this flows into the Hüthumer Sea . This 1.5 hectare large pond is located just by the nature reserve Emmericher Ward from the border with the Netherlands separated, the marina Emmerichs. There are around 350 berths for small vehicles up to 15 m in length and some small ships up to 40 m. In some places the draft is restricted to 1.6 m, but for the most part it is 3.2–4 m. There is a crane with a lifting capacity of 22 t and a hydraulic slipway , electricity, water, sanitary facilities and a clubhouse. The motorhome parking space is machine-managed and can be accessed 24/7. On land there are also dry berths and a shipyard hall . From the eastern pier it is only a 100 m walk to the nearest public transport connection on Klever Straße .
traffic
The industrial port of Emmerich is designed for trimodal traffic. Local roads open it up via the L7 to the federal road 220 to the west . The port railway connects to the Oberhausen – Arnhem railway line (Hollandbahn).
A barge from the port of Emmerich to the port of Rotterdam takes just under ten hours. The port of Antwerp is reached in around 14 hours .
The Basel Multimodal Express also runs three times a week between the ports of Emmerich and Basel, transporting the containers overnight by rail between the two destinations.
development
The handling of the Rhein-Waal-Terminal has increased sixfold in the last twenty years. In 2015, the total container throughput was 147,277 TEU , of which 125,668 TEU was accounted for by the waterside and 21,609 TEU by the rail side. This makes the Rhein-Waal-Terminal (since 2017 Contargo Rhein-Waal-Lippe ) one of the largest transshipment terminals in North Rhine-Westphalia, alongside the terminals in Duisburg, Neuss, Düsseldorf and Cologne. In 2015, the port of Emmerich was classified as important for the state in the draft of the new state development plan (LEP).
