SPECIAL SURVEY: GERMANY

The articles in this feature on Germany are: "Far East Battleground," describing the competition between the ports of Hamburg and Bremen/Bremerhaven over the Far East container trade; "Hamburg Plans New Box Terminal," discussing the inclusion in Hamburg's port development plan of a brand new container handling center at Altenwerder; "How Hi-Tech?," telling how two of Germany's leading terminal operators are reassessing their landside handling systems as they prepare to build new container handling capacity; "Rostock Joins Ferry Fight," explaining that the German currency union has irreversibly altered the competition between German ports for the Baltic ferry trade, bringing Rostock, the leading port of what was formerly East Germany, into the fray as a would-be rival to Port of Lubeck; and "Cash--Key to Elbe's Future," describing the widespread interest that the unification of Germany has provoked in the redevelopment of the River Elbe, where traffic, which was 18 million tons in 1988, could rise, given the necessary investment, to 51 million tons by 2000.
