11 Port of Sussnitz and Mukran The Port of Sassnitz is situated on the eastern side of the Isle of Ruegen and is thus the easternmost deep-water port in Germany. Geographical position provides the shortest sea connection from Germany to Sweden, Denmark/Bornholm, Finland, Russia and the Baltic states. The port is located directly on the open sea which means an uncomplicated approach for shipping. This makes time-consuming channel navigation unnecessary, and there is no obligation for pilot service. Water depths of m make the port accessible to all ship classes which operate in the Baltic Sea. 11

14 Port of Sussnitz and Mukran Port of Sassnitz offers best conditions in order to serve as the port for the offshore wind industry. Through its location directly at the open sea there is no obligation for channel navigation or pilot services. Germany s easternmost deep-water port has available water depths of m which makes it accessible to all ship classes which operate in the Baltic Sea. Berths 8 and 9 facilitate also the handling of larger sea vessels in the conventional transport sector as well as special offshore wind installation vessels. 14

15 Port of Sussnitz and Mukran The Sassnitz will expand into a base port for a planned offshore wind farm in the Baltic Sea. The offshore terminal with a 410 meter long quay wall is planned to be completed by the summer For the purpose of the project, a six-hectare area will be created, from where the components for the wind turbines will be shipped. Right next to the offshore terminal, a berthing place has also been expanded, which will be used by supply and service vessels working on the offshore wind farm. 15
