Direct transfer from vessel to metropolis

Neuss, a historic inland harbour on the Rhine near Düsseldorf, is set to see a significant development with the construction of a new passenger pier. This pier, located at harbor basin 1, will not disrupt the existing harbor-appropriate handling in the area.

Until now, passenger ships in Neuss could only be accessed via a chamber staircase at harbor basin 1. However, with the arrival of this new pier, the city will join Düsseldorf and Cologne in offering direct access to passenger ships in the harbour area. The pier will be equipped with three mooring dolphins, capable of accommodating large river cruise ships.

The location of the new pier is strategically attractive due to its proximity to transportation options and the pedestrian accessibility of the Neuss city centre. This development is expected to boost tourism in the area, making it easier for passengers to explore the city.

In a move towards sustainability, a future investment in a shore power supply is planned for the pier. This will allow berthed ships to dispense with diesel-powered generators, reducing emissions and promoting "green" energy use. RheinCargo will exclusively supply the ships with this "green" electricity via the shore power connection.

As for the timeline, the new pier is set to make its first major appearance at the 42nd International Hansetag in Neuss, scheduled for the end of May.

While detailed information about the new pier is not widely available in current search results, official sources such as the Neuss city website, local government press releases, or the harbour authority directly are expected to provide more comprehensive descriptions of the pier's features, benefits, and future plans.

It's important to note that the newsletter does not send spam, as mentioned in its privacy policy. The current sources focus on unrelated topics such as transportation shifts in Duisport, vehicle sales, and general tourism information about Düsseldorf but do not mention the Neuss harbour passenger pier or its developments.

In conclusion, the new pier in Neuss harbour basin 1 is an exciting development that is set to enhance the city's passenger services, promote sustainability, and boost tourism. Stay tuned for more updates from official sources.

The new pier, designed for outdoor-living enthusiasts and home-and-garden aficionados, will offers easy access to Passenger ships in the Neuss harbour area, providing a unique opportunity to explore the city's lifestyle and attractions. With the addition of this eco-friendly pier equipped with three mooring dolphins, Neuss is poised to join its sister cities Düsseldorf and Cologne in offering a seamless experience for cruise ship passengers.
