About This Seaport
Eight berths along more than two kilometres of Weser quay, topped by Europe's largest contiguous silo complex, set the tone for Brake, which handled some 5.4 million tonnes of seaborne cargo in 2024. This Lower Saxony port on the Lower Weser is a dedicated dry-bulk and breakbulk facility rather than a container terminal. Its core trades are agribulk (grain and animal feed), forest products and pulp — Brake is Germany's largest pulp import port, taking around 868,000 tonnes in 2024 — alongside steel, project cargo and wind-energy components handled at the heavy-lift Niedersachsenkai, operated by family firm J. Müller. Trimodal links by road, rail and inland waterway connect the quays to north-west Germany and central Europe. Weser draught restrictions cap maximum vessel size. For containerised freight, nearby Bremerhaven and Wilhelmshaven (JadeWeserPort) are the natural alternatives.
