Logistics company deugro Germany has entered into a strategic partnership with terminal operator J. Müller for the handling and storage of wind turbine components at the Port of Brake, in a move aimed at strengthening the supply chain for renewable energy infrastructure in Germany.
The agreement follows a recent award for handling wind turbine components from a major global manufacturer and brings together deugro’s international project logistics expertise with J. Müller’s port handling capabilities along Germany’s North Sea coast.
Located in Lower Saxony, the Port of Brake is equipped with specialised breakbulk infrastructure, including heavy-lift quays, a maximum draft of 11.9 metres, berth capacity for vessels up to 275 metres in length, and large laydown areas for oversized cargo.
According to deugro, the partnership will enable efficient unloading, movement, and storage of key renewable energy components such as rotor blades, positioning the port as a central logistics hub for wind energy projects across Germany.
“This agreement reflects our commitment to delivering tailored logistics solutions for the renewable energy industry,” said Christian Schulz, vice president global strategic accounts at deugro. “Brake’s strategic location and the operational excellence of our local port handling partner provide the ideal setup for the efficient and secure handling of wind turbine components destined for project sites across Germany and beyond.”
Simon Junker, head of renewable energy for onshore wind and cable at deugro, added: “This partnership strengthens our role in the wind energy supply chain and supports Germany’s transition to sustainable energy.”
The collaboration is part of broader efforts to expand Germany’s wind energy infrastructure as the country accelerates its shift towards low-carbon power sources.
