The Nordhafen is an inland port on the Mittelland Canal in Hanover , Lower Saxony .
location
The 2.8-kilometer-long land of the northern port of Hanover is located on the federal waterway Mittellandkanal (MLK) at km 154.7 to km 159.1 south at an altitude of 50.3 m above sea level. NN . They stretch over 4.4 km in three sections along the districts of Marienwerder ( north port-west ), Stöcken ( north port-center ) and north port ( north port-east ).
At MLK km 154.9 and 158.1 there are turning bays for large motor cargo ships up to 110 m in length.
The Desbrocksriedgraben, which has rotten there, flows through the central port area and the Mecklenheider Forest to the north . The Desbrocksriede crosses under the canal at km 156.65 in an 85 m long culvert .
Infrastructure
The 85- hectare port area, which includes around 2.8 km of quays and 23.8 km of railways, can be approached by several large motor cargo ships and push convoys at the same time.
With five handling cranes, including two crane bridges , three reach stackers , pumps and a mobile excavator, up to ten ships can be handled at the same time, and just as many can be idle. There is a rail-mounted loading point for RoRo ships to accommodate commercial vehicles , as well as a heavy-duty plate for a total weight of 400 tons.
All piers are accessible for trimodal ship / rail / road traffic with their own port railway. The focus of the handling lies in the vehicle industry ( VW ) and its suppliers (e.g. Continental ), the chemical industry, the packaging industry, the mineral oil trade, as well as freight forwarding and the recycling industry (scrap). There is also the Hanover joint power station , which is supplied with hard coal via the north port for generating electricity from coal and covers around half of Hanover’s district and process heating requirements by means of combined heat and power .
Around 30 companies are located in the immediate vicinity of the northern port, which together create around 20,000 jobs in the area.
In 2016, 767,401 t of shipping goods were handled on 1,183 handled ships in the Nordhafen.
Port railway
The rail connection to the port facilities, which were still under construction at the time, was established as an operating line for the transport of building materials and excavation as early as 1907. Today the tracks of the port railway have a length of 23.8 km and six of their own locomotives are kept there for shunting. In 2016 rail handling, 983,970 t were achieved with 44,594 wagons (2008: 727,746 t in 31,160 wagons). Two block trains can be processed simultaneously in the central and eastern port areas, as well as another one in the western port area .

traffic
The western and central parts of the port are equipped with access to the federal motorway 2 , which runs immediately to the north, via federal road 6 , which is called Am Leineufer there . The access roads are dimensioned for a load capacity of up to 70 tons. The eastern parts of the port are also accessible via several local roads.
There are around two dozen public transport connections along the southern port area. The passenger ship offers excursions and tours through the ports of Hanover and operates their own separate landing. The north port of Hanover is rather unsuitable for recreational boating. Small vehicles can be moored, for example, in the ports of Seelze or in the marina in the Misburg branch canal .
