To Amburgo, in consideration of the increasing number of ships of large-capacity that reach in the German port, an organism is constituted in order to coordinate the ports of call of these units that they still land to the port assisting them before they arrive to the river mouth of the Elba river.
By the 2008 number of ships of great dimensions that climb annually to Amburgo it is increased by 621 to 989. The number does not only include the portacontainer, but also cruise ships, ships portarinfuse and other units that are all subject ones to various restrictions when they navigate along Elba and in the port of Amburgo, between which those which hold account of the level of the water in the river or the width of the ship canal. The new Nautischen Terminal Koordination (NTK) is instituted in order to coordinate and to control the interdependence of all the ships that reach in the nordeuropea marine area identifying the potential situations of conflict and reducing the impact of the marine traffic on all the harbour system of Amburgo.
The new organism is created on the experience of management of the traffic of the Feeder Logistik Zentrale (FLZ), the center of coordination of the ports of call of the container vessels feeder in the port of Amburgo that is constituted in 2009. "The job of Nautischen Koordination Terminal - Heinrich Goller has explained, NTK and FLZ managing director - consists in putting together the communication channels and to characterize the interdependence of the decisions assumed in the starting phase of the management of the mega-ships and in order to resolve these problems, for how much it is possible. With the exception of the public harbour institutions, we already trace the ships along their route of approach, for example on all the draft from Gibraltar and in particular from the ports scaled previously. We are therefore in a position to characterizing with much advance payment the potential obstacles and therefore to develop proposed operating. We coordinate the job flows actively and develop the forecasts of the question from the point of view of the terminals of Amburgo, on which an agreement with the competent public harbour institutions reaches. Acting as central point of contact, on one side bilateral communications for the others are eliminated leave and from the other contrasts from the operating point of view are avoided".
"We are happy - the commander of the Harbour office of Amburgo has commented - Jörg Pollmann - for seeing the Nautischen working active Koordination Terminal and, that it loosens the pressure on the Vessel Traffic Service Center. This affords us to concentrate to us on that in reality it is our institutional task. Also we are therefore anxious to see a greater number of subjects of the shipping involved in the Nautischen Koordination Terminal".
