The war in Ukraine and its impact on members of the European Union are bringing the Baltic Sea back into focus. Due to the well-developed infrastructure in the Baltic Sea ports and the close partnership of the ports in the western neighboring countries, the exchange of goods is functioning smoothly. The ports in Finland and L\u00fcbeck are already looking to the future and are working on intensifying their cooperation.<\/strong><\/h5>\n

(L\u00fcbeck) This was made clear at the seventh German-Finnish Port Day in L\u00fcbeck, which was jointly organized by Bernd Jorkisch, Honorary Consul of the Republic of Finland in L\u00fcbeck, Sebastian J\u00fcrgens, Managing Director of the L\u00fcbeck Port Company (LHG), and Jan Lindenau, Mayor of the Hanseatic City of L\u00fcbeck.<\/p>\n

More than 300 representatives from the port industry from several countries participated in the conference on Tuesday at the Music and Congress Hall in L\u00fcbeck. The Ambassador of the Republic of Finland in Germany, Anne Sipil\u00e4inen, also attended the event in the Hanseatic city. “Innovation dynamics, digitalization, and sustainability play an increasingly relevant role alongside security and peace \u2013 in all areas, the Baltic Sea region has gained importance for Europe,” said Bernd Jorkisch. “Especially the Republic of Finland, with its special geopolitical position in Europe, demonstrates solidarity, initiative, and foresight through its current actions.” The L\u00fcbeck port remains the hub for the exchange of goods between Finland and Central Europe.<\/p>\n

Kiel State Government Aware of L\u00fcbeck’s Importance<\/strong><\/h5>\n

The state government in Kiel is very aware of the role of the L\u00fcbeck port as a central hub within European transport networks, emphasized Schleswig-Holstein’s new Minister of Economic Affairs and Transport, Claus Ruhe Madsen: “The long-standing partnership with Finland is based on trust and reliability on both sides. L\u00fcbeck’s port is well positioned despite the crisis and continues to modernize its infrastructure efficiently and environmentally friendly,” said Madsen, who participated in the German-Finnish Port Day in L\u00fcbeck for the first time. Shipping companies in Finland and Germany will also contribute to offering Baltic Sea traffic efficiently and environmentally friendly.<\/p>\n

Adaptation of New Ship Construction to Port Infrastructure<\/strong><\/h5>\n

However, Madsen also reminded that shipping companies must accept the existing port infrastructure when building new ships in the future. “Ports cannot endlessly adapt to the ever-growing ships, especially since new environmental requirements pose enormous challenges,” said the minister. “It is good that L\u00fcbeck is part of the trans-European core network of the TEN-T. It would make sense for the corresponding ports in Finland to remain on board as well,” said Madsen.<\/p>\n

This is where LHG CEO Sebastian J\u00fcrgens emphasized: “L\u00fcbeck is the bridgehead and core network port for this corridor within the European TEN-T transport system, which connects the Mediterranean with Scandinavia. Finland, with its ports, is a strong partner in this important transport axis. Therefore, we demand that the two partner ports Pietasaari and K\u00e4skinen continue to be maintained as corridor ports and not be excluded from this well-established system in favor of some Mediterranean ports.”<\/p>\n

L\u00fcbeck Port Development Plan 2030<\/strong><\/h5>\n

L\u00fcbeck’s Mayor Jan Lindenau emphasized at the Port Day: “The Hanseatic city is addressing future challenges with its Port Development Plan 2030, ensuring the continuity of transport networks by rail, waterway, and road as the largest ferry and RoRo port in the Baltic Sea. In 2023 alone, we are investing more than 16 million euros in port infrastructure. We can learn from our collaboration with our Finnish partners in digitalization and create intelligent logistics chains together.”<\/p>\n
