EUROGATE GmbH & Co.KGaA, KG

EUROGATE is Europe’s leading shipping line-independent container terminal operator. Globalisation and ever tougher competition among ports necessitate foresighted decisions, continuous commitment and one hundred percent customer orientation. We actively address these challenges.

Containers are an expression of dynamic world trade. As a European company, we strive to continually optimise quality and service for our customers across national borders, enhance our pan-European position and strengthen our market leadership. At the same time we are committed to our local responsibility.

High productivity levels and optimally coordinated workflows characterise our container handling operations. Our staff play a decisive role here, with many of them already working with us in the second generation. We are committed to ensuring that our terminals comply with the latest technical standards and therefore remain competitive for the future by channelling substantial capital investments into their development.

Protecting the environment and the earth’s natural resources has a high priority at EUROGATE. We have committed to a company-wide environmental strategy that is based on three pillars: maximum efficiency, minimum emissions and maximum safety. Caring for our environment is not just a social responsibility. It is an investment in our company, in the people who play a role in it and in the future.

The EUROGATE Group

The handling of containers at seaports is our core business. In 2014, we handled over 14.8 million TEUs at 11 terminal locations. As a shipping line-independent container terminal group we operate sea terminals jointly with our sister company Contship Italia on the North Sea, in the Mediterranean region as well as on the Atlantic, with excellent connections to the European hinterland.

In addition to container handling, we offer a full range of “box”-related operations, from seaworthy packaging, to container depot services, container servicing and container repair. Our intermodal transport network links our sea terminals in northern and southern Europe with the major European economic areas.

One factor of our success is our readiness to enter strategic alliances and long-term partnerships. In Bremerhaven we are involved in two joint ventures. NTB North Sea Terminal Bremerhaven is a joint-venture with APM Terminals, a company of the A. P. Moeller-Maersk group and a sister company of Maersk Line, the world?s biggest Shipping Line. MSC Gate, situated at the Southern part of Bremerhaven container terminal, is a joint-venture of EUROGATE and TIL Terminal Investment Limited, an investment company of MSC Mediterranean Shipping Company.

EUROGATE Group has its head office in the Free and Hanseatic City of Bremen.
