history
Already at the time of the Bendorfer Hütten ores and metal products were loaded on the Rhine. The transshipment point, as it is called according to the state water law, was built in 1899/1900.
With the establishment of the Mittelrheinische Tanklager Gesellschaft in the 1970s, the port was restructured.
At the end of 2009, extensive renovation and conversion work was carried out. For this purpose, sheet piling was installed at the end downstream of the Rhine and then 12,000 m² of new, flood-free storage space was gained by filling the area. New dolphins were set at the mineral oil discharge point so that ships with a load capacity of up to 5000 tons can create.
