JadeWeserPort ((:jaːdə veːzɐ pɔɐ̯t)) is Germany's largest harbour project. It is supported by the states of Lower Saxony (50.1% stake) and Bremen (49.9% stake).〔(【引用サイトリンク】accessdate=2011-02-14 )〕 This new container port is located at Wilhelmshaven at the Jade Bight, a bay on the North Sea coast. It has a natural water depth in excess of 18 m. Container ships with a length of 430 m and 16,5 m draught will be able to call the JadeWeserPort at any tide. Construction work was begun in March 2008. The port was opened on 21 September 2012.〔cite web|url=http://www.abendblatt.de/region/article109382891/JadeWeserPort-Politik-und-Wirtschaft-feiern-Eroeffnung.html|accessdate=2012-09-22|title=Jade-Weser-Port: Politik und Wirtschaft feiern Eröffnung〕 Since then, the port has failed to attract any significant cargo volumes from container lines and it lies largely unused.〔(【引用サイトリンク】accessdate=2013-07-27 )〕 == History and construction period == There have been plans for expanding the commercial operations of the harbours of Wilhelmshaven for many years. Originally a naval base, the deep water of the Jade estuary became more and more attractive for merchant shipping with the growth of ships in the 20th century. In 1958 the first pier for deep draught tankers was built. In 1993, local commercial associations made first plans for a major container terminal with initially four, later six, berths for large container vessels.〔Wilhelmshavener Zeitung 7. July 2010〕 After a number of delays caused by legal and administrative reasons a court ruling of 8 March 2008 allowed for the immediate commencement of construction work for the first four berths.〔Wilhelmshavener Zeitung, 16. April 2008〕 Between then and January 2012 nearly 46 Mio m³ of sand have been flushed .〔(【引用サイトリンク】accessdate=2012-08-06 )〕 Major parts of the superstructure have been finished so that administrative port authorities were able to assume their functions in August 2012.〔Wilhelmshavener Zeitung 1 August 2012〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「JadeWeserPort」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
