Hamburg, Germany – Project logistics specialist deugro has signed a strategic port handling agreement with J. Müller, the terminal operator at the Port of Brake, securing key logistics operations for wind turbine components destined for Germany’s growing renewable energy market.

The deal follows a major award for handling and storage services from a leading global wind turbine manufacturer, positioning the Port of Brake as a central hub for the import and movement of turbine blades and related components. The partnership combines deugro’s two decades of expertise in global wind energy logistics with J. Müller’s extensive port-handling experience along Germany’s North Sea coast.

The Port of Brake offers a strong infrastructure tailored for breakbulk and heavy-lift cargo. With deep-water berths of 11.9 meters, vessel accommodation up to 275 meters in length, and heavy lift quays equipped for large-scale operations, the port is designed to handle complex renewable energy components. Its large laydown areas and customized road access routes ensure safe and efficient inland transport, particularly for oversized wind turbine parts.

Christian Schulz, Vice President Global Strategic Accounts at deugro, said the partnership underscores the company’s ongoing focus on renewable energy logistics. “This agreement reflects our commitment to delivering tailored logistics solutions for the renewable energy industry,” he said. “Brake’s strategic location and the operational excellence of our local port handling partner provide the ideal setup for the efficient and secure handling of wind turbine components destined for project sites across Germany and beyond.”

Adding to that, Simon Junker, Head of Renewable Energy | Onshore Wind and Cable at deugro, highlighted the broader significance of the move. “This partnership strengthens our role in the wind energy supply chain and supports Germany’s transition to sustainable energy,” he noted.

With Germany aiming to expand its onshore and offshore wind capacity, the collaboration between deugro and J. Müller positions the Port of Brake as a critical logistics node in Europe’s renewable energy infrastructure.
