Aufrüstung: Bremerhaven wird Nato-Drehscheibe – Milliardensumme fließt
Lange wurde gerungen, nun ist der Vertrag unterzeichnet: Warum der Bund eine Rekordsumme in das kleinste Bundesland steckt und in welche Maßnahmen das Geld fließen soll.
Bremerhaven has reached an agreement with the federal government, the Bundeswehr, and the state of Bremen to transform the port into a NATO hub, marking the largest investment in the area. Federal Defense Minister Boris Pistorius stated that the €1.35 billion "Deployment Hub Bremerhaven 2031" project will involve modernizing and expanding the port's infrastructure.
This is essential for transporting military personnel and equipment by ship and plane in case of a defense scenario. Pistorius emphasized the critical role the location plays in defense efforts, noting that tens of thousands of soldiers would need accommodation, food, and machinery maintenance. Over 40 investments are planned, including a new heavy-duty bridge, additional heavy-duty areas in the port, parts of the power station, a connection canal with a swing bridge, and various inland basins, along with upgrades to roads and rail connections. The Bremen airport will also benefit from increased logistics space.
