The port of Lübeck (Port Code:DELBC) is the second-largest German Baltic port after the port of Rostock. Lübeck is the largest transhipment and distribution centre for the Swedish and Finnish paper industry in Europe. Four million tonnes of forest products were handled in Lübeck in 2013. Additionally, Lübeck is among Europe's largest ferry destinations. In 2013 around 795,000 passengers used ferry connections to/from the port (incl. 372 thou. truck drivers).
Tailor-made logistics systems guarantee optimum service for clients 365 days per year. The real strength of Lübeck lies in its ro-ro traffic: fast cargo, rolling on and off the vessels by truck, cassettes or railway wagons. Last year the port handled 720,000 truck and trailer units and 111,000 new cars. Also, with more than 117,000 TEU last year, Lübeck is the largest German container port located directly on the Baltic Sea. Additionally, the port offers all advantages of a logistics centre, with the highest level of quality and know-how, especially concerning forest products such as paper and pulp.
