history

As early as 1926, a port area in today's area was identified in a general development plan. In 1940 the plans were close to being realized, but the Second World War prevented them. With the start of work on today's Main-Danube Canal in 1960, the plans for the port of Nuremberg were resumed and a preliminary draft was drawn up in 1962. From 1965 onwards, the backyard district of Nuremberg was leveled and the residents were financially compensated. The official start of construction was on July 6, 1968 on the occasion of the first demolitions and a ceremony. The opening of the port on September 23, 1972 also marked the completion of the northern section of the Main-Danube Canal between Bamberg and Nuremberg towards the Main and Rhine . The section to Lände Roth was completed in 1987. Continuous operation, also towards the Danube region , was then possible with the completion of the canal from 1992.

Tricon

In October 2004, the construction of a trimodal system for " combined transport " (CT) began. After a plan and investment expansion to a total of 31 million euros, the first module of the system went into operation at the beginning of June 2006 on a property area of ​​85,000 m². The terminal has, among other things, four loading tracks of 700 meters each, two gantry cranes for handling containers and truck bodies with an annual capacity of 155,000 loading units.

On the water side, the system was connected via the partial expansion of the third port basin . This new 116 meter long and 25 meter wide branch basin in the GVZ was flooded on June 13, 2005.

Container terminal

In addition, DB Netz AG has replaced its less conveniently located, inner-city container station on Austraße ( Gostenhof district ) with a new building (additional investment volume of 32.2 million euros) in the GVZ. This bimodal transshipment facility (rail / road) complements the existing trimodal facility since December 2009. As a result, the GVZ has one of the largest container handling capacities in inland Europe outside the seaports.

On March 20, 2006, the customs office moved from the Kohlenhof district to the port.
