Roughly 1,068 metres of quay, about 12 metres of draught and two terminals — Nordenham and Blexen — give this Lower Saxony port at the Weser mouth a heavy-cargo backbone rather than a container one. Owned and run entirely by Rhenus Midgard, Nordenham counts as Germany's largest privately operated seaport. It handles dry bulk such as ore, coal, coke, fertilisers and building materials, alongside forest products like logs and sawn timber and liquids including mineral-oil products and molasses. Project and offshore-wind cargo is a recognised speciality, with heavy components moved across dedicated load-out areas. Annual throughput runs at around 3 million tons. Rail and road link the hinterland, while neighbouring Bremerhaven, eight kilometres north, covers scheduled container services.
