Neumeier (Logivest): German ports are wrong to cede areas for the construction of residential centers
The company urges the development of logistics areas within the port ports, also using disused areas and buildings
May 17, 2022
'The low level of new construction and the relative lack of logistical space in German ports - he noted the CEO of Logivest, Kuno Neumeier - risk become a major challenge for the development of logistics trimodal. The trimodal logistics, i.e. the interconnection between the road, rail and maritime transport - ha underlined - is an essential component in order to achieve sustainable logistics that minimise emissions of CO2, since, even if the transport of containers is often criticized for its impact on climate change, it is however significantly more efficient than transport on road. According to the Federal Environment Agency - he recalled Neumeier - container ships (3,000-8,000 teu) emit about 17 grams of CO2 per tonne-kilometre, while a truck (tractor-semi-trailer for 24-40 tons of goods) emits about 68 grams/tkm'.
Neumeier, who on this issue is certainly a voice of part, criticized the growing trend of German ports to sell their own areas for the construction of new residential areas. "With this - he said - often the ports give themselves the hoe on the feet, given that residential development not only threatens the possibility of carrying out commercial activities on the areas that still remain in the port areas, but the port logistics itself is not compatible with development residential due to the different regulations on noise pollution and polluting emissions. From this not there may be disadvantages. Although in many ports are limited space to build new logistics facilities - ha Neumeier surveyed - however several port areas offer certainly the potential for further modern logistics areas». Neumeier also pointed out that "in Germany many ports there are obsolete buildings absolutely unsuitable for use modern logistics and there is therefore a wide possibility of new constructions revitalizing these abandoned sites. Also the filling of water mirrors that are no longer used - he specified - offers this potential and in this sense an example very positive is that of the JedeWeserPort (the new port German in deep water, ed)'.
