Lubeck - A Connection with 25 ports of the Baltic Sea One of the most important factors for the success of the largest by far German port to the Baltic Sea (market share > 40%) is the extremely dense departure rate of the liner services. The Ports of Lubeck offer about 125 departures per week from and to 25 partner ports around the entire Baltic Sea - providing the highest deliverability and protection of the charging currents in Europe. The traffics of each destination are almost completely balanced, so that the freight capacities of both the vessels and the means of transport for the hinterland traffic are optimally working at full capacity. This means crucial cost advantages for the shippers compared to alternative routes of transport. Additionally, the Lubecker ports offer all advantages of a logistic centre, disposing of the highest level of quality and know-how, especially concerning forest products such as paper and cellulose. Luebeck is the largest transhipment and distribution centre for the Swedish and Finnish paper industry in Europe. This leading role has been strengthened in the recent past by locking long-term contracts of cooperation with the worldwide leading producers of the paper industry from Sweden and Finland. More than 4.0 million tons cargo volume of forest products was achieved in the year 2002 in Lubeck. The strength of Lubeck is the roll-on-roll-off traffic (RoRo): fast cargo, rolling on and off the vessels by truck, cassettes or railway wagons. Individually composed logistic systems guarantee the optimum service for the clients at 365 days of the year. Luebeck is the largest German container port in the Baltic Sea, handling more than 80,000 container-units per year. The location of the Ports of Lubeck offers high-class hinterland-connections. The three-lane motorway "A1" in direction of Hamburg connects Luebeck with the main economic centres in Europe. The rail net offers an especially high efficiency in the carload traffic as well as in the combined traffic. Every week, about 35 block and whole trains commute to the European main industrial centres. In addition, the Elbe-Luebeck-Canal provides a link to the European "inland waterways" network. The number of workplaces at the ports of Luebeck has continuously increased during the past years. In the year 2002, the port operators had more than 1,100 employees. A total amount of about 5,500 jobs are depending on the port. Providing these jobs, the Ports of Luebeck contribute in an important way to the net product and to the cyclical stabilisation of the region.
