New Pier Opens in Neuss Harbour, Boosting Accessibility and Sustainability
Neuss, Germany - Exciting news for travellers and locals alike as a new pier opens in Neuss Harbour, offering improved accessibility and sustainability. The new facility, located in Harbour Basin 1, is equipped with three mooring points, allowing large river cruise ships to dock comfortably.
This development not only marks a significant expansion for passenger shipping between Düsseldorf and Cologne, as RheinCargo now boasts twelve mooring options, but also ensures that cargo handling will not be disrupted.
The city of Neuss has taken a step forward in making the harbour more inclusive, establishing a barrier-free mooring point for passenger shipping. This new feature will undoubtedly make it easier for everyone to access the passenger ships in the Neuss harbour area.
In a bid to further reduce emissions, a future investment in a shore power supply is planned for the pier. This innovative solution will enable berthed ships to dispense with diesel-powered generators, providing them with "green" electricity supplied exclusively by RheinCargo.
The location of the new pier is another attractive feature, situated near bus and taxi stands and boasting pedestrian accessibility to the city centre. This strategic positioning ensures that passengers can easily reach the city's vibrant cultural offerings.
The inauguration of the new pier and the barrier-free mooring point for passenger shipping will take place during the 42nd International Hansetag in Neuss, at the end of May.
