Armament: Bremerhaven to become NATO hub – billion-euro sum flows
There was a long struggle, now the contract is signed: Why the federal government is investing a record sum in the smallest federal state and which measures the money is supposed to flow into.
The German government, the German military, and the state of Bremen have agreed on a plan to upgrade the port of Bremerhaven as a NATO logistics hub. The project, called "Deployment Hub Bremerhaven 2031", will receive 1.35 billion euros in funding. The port and Bremen airport will be used to deploy personnel and material in the event of a defense emergency, requiring modernization and expansion of the existing infrastructure.
Over 40 investments are planned, including new bridges, roads, and rail connections, as well as upgrades to the port's facilities.
