At the end of November, there was a serious fire in the engine room of the bremenports bucket excavator Bremerhaven - due to a technical defect, as the subsequent investigations revealed.

It was a rare and impressive sight: Two mighty sluice gates from the ports of Bremen have been standing behind each other in the dry dock of the Lloyd shipyard for the past few weeks. Now one of them is ready for use again: The reserve gate of the Kaiserschleuse has completed its extensive stay at the shipyard and is back in its place - with modernized technology and new, sustainable preservation it is now ready for its next use in the truest sense of the word in the Kaiserschleuse.
Once a year, the Geeste River is cleaned up: since the Clean City Control Center was founded in Bremerhaven, a team from bremenports' diving department has regularly set out to clear the river of carelessly discarded rubbish.
