Bremerhaven car terminal: the heart of global vehicle logistics

The Bremerhaven car terminal is one of the largest and most modern terminals in Europe and the heart of our automotive logistics. Millions of vehicles are handled here every year - successfully. On an area of 295 hectares, we offer manufacturers optimum space and facilities.

  • Parking space capacity for 70,000 cars, 30,000 of which are covered and 40,000 in open parking areas
  • Eight parking racks, nine berths, three technical centers and 16 rail sidings & head ramps

This infrastructure enables us to offer you comprehensive technical services - from washing the vehicles and removing the transport protection film to quality control. The strategic location and excellent connections to rail, road and inland waterways make Bremerhaven the ideal hub for importing and exporting vehicles.


Comprehensive car terminal network in Europe

Our European car terminal network comprises 13 strategically located sites in Germany, Poland and Slovenia. The seaport terminals on the coast in particular are indispensable as hubs and serve as export ports for European vehicle production overseas, for example to China, the USA, Australia, South Africa and Scandinavia. Our terminals are also the first choice as import ports. We offer you comprehensive services such as quality controls, technical adjustments and customs clearance. In this way, we create an optimal link between the production sites and the global markets. The seamless integration of our terminals into our extensive network ensures that your vehicles get from the production sites to the end customers quickly and efficiently.

Our expertise in this area ensures that even the most complex logistics requirements are met.

Sustainability through rail transportation

BLG LOGISTICS is committed to sustainability - also in rail transportation. Our rail transports make a significant contribution to reducing CO2 emissions and relieving the road network. With the ability to transport more than 200 vehicles per train, we offer an environmentally friendly and efficient solution for transporting vehicles over long distances.

Despite the advantages of rail, the last mile poses a challenge, as diesel locomotives or trucks often have to be used. We are actively working to overcome these bottlenecks and increase efficiency by cooperating with car manufacturers and using multimodal terminals.
