deugro Inks Port Logistics Deal in Germany

By Simon West

deugro has signed a strategic agreement with terminal operator J. Müller to handle and store wind turbine components at the Port of Brake in northern Germany.

Under the deal, deugro will manage the unloading, shifting and storage of rotor blades and other wind and renewable energy components at the port, which is located on the Weser River some 22 kilometers upstream from Bremerhaven.

The dry bulk and breakbulk-handling facility features an 11.9-meter draft — soon to be increased to 12.8 meters — and berths for vessels up to 275 meters long. It also boasts extensive storage and laydown areas for large cargo and is equipped with heavy-lift cranes and customized access routes for trucks.

The partnership combines the project forwarder’s expertise in wind energy logistics with J. Müller’s specialized port services and the port’s advanced infrastructure and deep-sea capabilities, deugro said in a statement.

“This agreement reflects our commitment to delivering tailored logistics solutions for the renewable energy industry,” said Christian Schulz, vice president of 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 and 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.”

deugro and its sister company dteq Transport Engineering Solutions will be exhibiting at Breakbulk Europe 2026 on 16-18 June at Rotterdam Ahoy.
