Eurogate Wilhelmshaven to increase labour force by 50%

Eurogate is planning to increase the number of employees at its Wilhelmshaven terminal from 400 to 600, following a rise in alliance calls after the shake-up this year.

The facility has seen monthly container throughput on liner services double since May, having gained calls from two of the three global shipping alliances.

Mikkel Andersen, managing director of Eurogate Container Terminal Wilhelmshaven, said: “Since the consolidation from four to three major alliances, our monthly handling figures have doubled and we are seeing a significantly increased level of interest in [the terminal] both regionally and supraregionally.”
