German government formulates national port strategy

Posted by | 20 May 2024 | , , , | 0

After many previous announcements and protracted negotiations, the German government has finally formulated and published a national port strategy. It was welcomed by the federal states, all associations and other stakeholders, albeit with reservations due to the lack of statements on the financing of the ambitious goals. In general, it is said that efficient ports are an important prerequisite for Germany's economic success and general prosperity. They would not only secure the supply of industry, trade and the population, but also directly and indirectly secure up to 5.6 million jobs nationwide.

China's involvement in logistics extends far beyond its participation in ports. The country's companies have a dominant market position and provide deep insights into global transport chains.

In May, the German Navy sets off for the Indo-Pacific for the second time since 2021. The Indo-Pacific Deployment 2024 begins! It will not be a routine voyage. Since the last visit of the frigate BAYERN, the global political situation has changed significantly once again - both in Europe and in Asia. The fact that Germany is sending the frigate BADEN-WÜRTTEMBERG and the task force provider FRANKFURT AM MAIN to spend seven months crossing the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans and that the German Air Force is also taking part in exercises in the region with around 30 aircraft is not a matter of course.
