Husum port: Millions of investments secure the future and jobs!

Husum, Deutschland - In 2024, over 2.2 million euros will be invested in the repair of the Husum harbor. This information was confirmed by the Kiel Ministry of Economic Affairs. An essential part of the investments is the renewal of the bank wall in the port area. In addition, a new emergency generator for the blocking unit is purchased. For the year 2025, another 2.3 million euros are already planned for the port area, such as ndr.de reported.

The regional ports Husum and Büsum could also play a central role in the traffic and energy transition in Schleswig-Holstein. A study by the Hanseatic Transport Consultancy, funded by the IHK Flensburg and West Coast municipalities, emphasizes the potential of these ports. Husum and Büsum take places seven and ten among the largest seaports in the state, while larger competitors such as the ferry ports of Lübeck, Puttgarden, Kiel and the port of Brunsbüttel are in competition. Offshore ports such as Cuxhaven and Esbjerg are also a challenge, such as "https://www.shz.de/startsite-hh/artikel/haefen-in-hus-und-buesum-koennen-energende-in-sh-schücleunigen-44210135" Class = "Source_2"> Shz.de reported.

competitiveness and necessary infrastructure

Over 1000 employees work in the port -dependent economy of the west coast ports, while a total of around 2500 jobs are bound to the ports Husum and Büsum. However, both ports fight with infrastructural defects, such as a lack of active rail connection, which has not been used since the 1990s. In order to maintain competitiveness and jobs in the region, comprehensive investments in the infrastructure are necessary. In particular, the water depths, emitations and road conditions must be improved.

The ports could take on essential functions in the energy sector, in particular by providing services for offshore wind farms as well as maintenance and recycling opportunities. Husum needs a water depth of at least 4.70 meters in order to remain competitive. Slapping envelope numbers in Husum, especially for feed and fertilizers, are already determined, whereby the access of the access and insufficient depth was identified as the main reasons for the negative trends.

In addition to the necessary infrastructural improvements, settlements in the field of green technologies could be created in perspective between 150 and 200 new jobs in Büsum and 100 to 120 in Husum.
