Information about the Port of Bremen
The ports of Bremen are among Europe’s most important. They are managed by Bremenports GmbH & Co. KG, a private company that manages public funds and property, and serve both Bremen and Bremerhaven.
Almost 80 percent of all the port’s freight comes through Bremerhaven, which specializes in container vessels, car carriers and refrigerated fruit carriers. Bremen, for its part, focuses on handling conventional general cargo and heavy lift, as well as bulk cargo. The terminals in both locations handle almost all kinds of freight, and are extremely well-connected and well-managed.

FCL or LCL for your ocean freight to Bremen
If you are shipping a container to Bremen, you will need to engage either a full container load (FCL) or a shared container, known as groupage (a less-than-container load, or LCL).
Any shipment of six or more standard pallets will fill more than half of a 20-foot container, which can take a maximum of ten standard pallets; in such cases, we encourage you to choose a full container load (FCL). A 40-foot container can carry up to 22 standard pallets. We also recommend that you choose FCL if you want to keep your goods from coming in contact with those of other exporters, and thus minimize the risk of contact damage.
If you do not need to keep your goods isolated, a shared container (LCL)-known as groupage-is a good choice for shipments of fewer than six standard pallets. Sharing means you pay only for the space you use. Consult iContainers for rates and other important information.
