Bremerhaven and Hamburg opt for LED lighting across the terminals

LEDs are energy efficient, require little maintenance and have a high lifespan. Several test projects using environmentally friendly LED lamps were carried out in both Bremerhaven and Hamburg. The aim in the mid-term is to make LEDs the standard lamps at the two terminals.

LED lamps for Hamburg’s gantry cranes

The technicians and engineers from EUROGATE Technical Services, in close cooperation with the facility’s crane operators, have fitted out the 305 container cranes located in the Hamburg terminal with LED lamps. As a result, the energy consumption of the cranes has been dramatically reduced.

Wind power: first nacelle arrives at the container terminal

The first nine of 18 nacelles for offshore wind power stations from Senvion GmbH have arrived at the south end of the Bremerhaven Container Terminal. They are an important component for the construction of the NORDERGRÜNDE wind farm off the east coast of Germany’s Wangerooge island.

Apprentices turned “energy scouts”

How much energy is actually consumed by office lighting? How much electricity do telephones, monitors and computers use? And where and how can we save energy in a way that is meaningful?

Energy for more than 4,600 households

EUROGATE’s wind turbines in Hamburg and Bremerhaven between them produced sufficient energy in 2015 to supply around 4,600 two-person households with power for a whole year.

Secure lashing means secure discharging: Safety Day in Wilhelmshaven

It has in the meantime become something of a tradition: once a year, EUROGATE Container Terminal Wilhelmshaven organises the Safety Day. The idea is to raise employee awareness for the issue of occupational safety.

Official opening of wind turbine in Bremerhaven

Mr Friza, the second wind turbine at a EUROGATE container terminal was officially opened on 21 January 2015. This time in Bremerhaven. What kind of challenges did this project entail?
