New heavy goods terminal in the Niehler Hafen: Cologne relies on sustainable logistics!

In the Niehler Hafen in Cologne something is happening! A modern heavy goods terminal is being built on an area of ​​around 1,500 square meters, which is developed in partnership between Rheincargo GmbH & Co. KG and Colonia. The plans are quite ambitious, because this terminal should not only serve the relocation of large and heavy transports, but also relieve the city infrastructure of the city. Marcel Beck, Head of the Hafen of the Rheincargo, emphasizes that the need for such transport solutions is growing primarily with the renewal and expansion of the energy networks.

A caterpillar crane of the Colonia, which is already installed and has a capacity of up to 130 tons, will now underline the new possibilities of the terminal. This crane enables the direct envelope of large-scale and heavy goods (GST) from the inland navigation to train or truck. Logistics not only means mobile, but also demands great potential for future-oriented solutions- and here Angelika Lörks, Head of Hafenkimmobilien from HGK AG.

comprehensive services for heavy goods

It becomes particularly interesting when you take a look at the comprehensive services that are offered in the new terminal and the heavy load hall by Hegmann Transit. This company not only takes care of the shipping of heavy goods, but also of assembly, packaging and safe storage of the goods. In addition, the heavy load hall with an area of ​​15,000 m² offers a heated environment that enables the storage and envelope of large unit weights up to 160 tons. The new 2-megawatt solar systems also pay attention to ecological sustainability.

The outdoor warehouse is an impressive 35,000 m², while the assembly hall with 2,500 m² and a sick capacity of 3 x 5 tons offers space for further work. The location is on the pulse of time: Hegmann Transit is proud to be certified according to several standards, including DIN EN ISO 9001 and SCC/SCP, which speaks for quality and security in dealing with heavy goods.

A look outside the box

But what actually happens in other places? In Bremerhaven, for example, there is a roro terminal that offers excellent conditions for rolling loads. The Breakbulk terminal in Bremen shows similar trends, which specializes in project charging and heavy goods. Here, heavy charges can be installed directly on the water, while the logistics specialists ensure high productivity and quality thanks to their specialized equipment. Slow specialists are also used regularly in Bremen to process large or bulky goods.

Both in Cologne and in Bremen, it is impressive how important efficient logistics are for the future. The new developments in the Niehler Hafen could not only be important for local entrepreneurs, but could also have far -reaching effects on the region. Cooperation options within the HGK group, especially with HGK Shipping GmbH, could increase this positive development. Let's be excited to see how the situation around the heavy goods terminal will continue to develop!
