Development of the german offshore-industry-centre cuxhaven
At the very beginning of 2002, the state of Lower Saxony recognised that wind energy was going to become one of the most promising forms of energy. As a result, it decided to develop the coastal
cities of Cuxhaven and Emden as base ports for the offshore industry. As early as in 2003, Cuxhaven’s stakeholders from the port industry, renewable energies, and the city of Cuxhaven began to
develop a “Master Plan for Cuxhaven as an Offshore Basis”. The construction of a heavy-duty platform (completed in 2008) and the decision to develop 50 hectares of commercial space marked the
launch of the Deutsches Offshore-Industrie-Zentrum. In the subsequent years, further industrial sites were developed, production facilities were built, and an optimal infrastructure with
heavy-duty storage, logistics, and port facilities was created.
The Deutsches Offshore-Industrie-Zentrum Cuxhaven (DOIZ) is unique in Germany and one of Europe’s largest offshore ports today. The deep-water port combines assembly and service. It stands out
with its modern infrastructure in particular for the requirements of the offshore and heavy-duty industry.
