The Seaports of Niedersachsen GmbH is a public-private partnership between the State of Lower Saxony and the private seaport traffic in the nine Lower Saxony seaports with the legal form of a limited liability company (Germany) . As a port marketing company, Seaports of Niedersachsen markets the ports of Lower Saxony worldwide and provides logistical networks for the ports.

Due to the expected growth in the volume of goods traffic, the seaports of Lower Saxony will be further expanded; investments of around EUR 60 million were planned for 2012/2013.
