Coal terminal

The port receives roughly five million tonnes of coal per year, mostly bound for power plants in Lower Saxony. Port officials speculated in 2012 that coal imports may increase due to construction of the coal-fired Moorburg Power Station. Coal is imported from Scandinavia, South Africa, and Australia.
