German Navy: New North Sea Naval Base – Emden Emerges Victorious
So far, Wilhelmshaven is the only German naval port on the North Sea coast. This is about to change, as the Navy has selected a location for a new port.
Germany is to get a second naval base on its North Sea coast, with Emden in East Frisia set to be the location. The base will cover 40 hectares, with the option to expand to 50 hectares, and will provide berths for seven frigates, ten minehunters and ten tugs. A four-figure number of soldiers and civilian employees will be based there. Defence Minister Boris Pistorius and Lower Saxony's Prime Minister Olaf Lies are due to attend an event in Emden on October 5 to discuss the plans.
