Facts and Figures

In the years 2004 to 2008 bremenports constructed a further 1681 metres of riverside quay, Container-Terminal 4, out of the bare earth as it were. This gigantic project required a total of ten million cubic metres of sand to create a new working area for the terminal on a site of approx. 90 hectares, where four new berths were built for mega-container vessels. From November 2004 onwards, 3.600 steel piles were driven into the subsoil and compacted by vibration. 743 solid piers – each 40 metres long and weighing 25 tonnes – support the quay; they are connected with intermediate piles and firmly anchored in the soil with batter piles. For the construction of the sheet piling alone, approx. 40,000 tonnes of steel were driven into the subsoil around the terminal.
