Eurogate has opened a new railway terminal, Rail Gate, in Bremerhaven

10.07.2025

The new Rail Gate Bremerhaven terminal has been in operation at the Eurogate container terminal in Bremerhaven since 1 July 2025

The infrastructure comprises six 762-metre-long tracks and covers an area of ​​80,000 m², allowing for the handling of up to 330,000 containers per year. The total investment in the project amounted to 70 million euros.

The official opening took place with the participation of Bremen Mayor Andreas Bovenschult and Senator for Economic Affairs Christina Vogt. The new terminal significantly expands the port’s intermodal capabilities and strengthens its role as a key transport hub in Northern Europe.

To manage cargo flow, Eurogate has installed four remotely controlled gantry cranes, which are operated by operators from a remote post. The project also contributes to the creation of modern logistics professions, including next-generation crane operators.
