Europe's largest offshore port
The German Offshore Industry Center Cuxhaven (DOIZ) is unique in Germany. This deep-water seaport combines assembly, service, and logistics—and stands out for its modern infrastructure designed specifically to meet the needs of the offshore industry. Numerous expansion options are included.
In addition to the core sectors of port operations, logistics, tourism, and the fishing and food industries, the wind energy sector is undoubtedly one of the key industries in Cuxhaven as a business hub. As a high-performance port, Cuxhaven therefore plays a central role in the offshore wind energy value chain.
Thanks to its exposed location and thus ideal nautical accessibility at the North Sea/Elbe estuary, Cuxhaven’s port offers companies in the maritime and offshore industries ideal conditions for efficient production and logistics operations. The port and logistics area, which has been specially developed for heavy cargo and offers numerous shipping options, has been explicitly optimized for the offshore industry.
For the Cuxhaven region, the development of offshore wind energy represents a major economic opportunity. There is significant potential for creating new jobs, and the infrastructure and adjacent commercial areas offer a wide range of uses.
Thanks to smart investments by the state, Cuxhaven has become an important growth hub—as a base port for the construction and maintenance of offshore wind farms, Cuxhaven plays a crucial role in a green energy future.
