Global Ports Holding Plc announced that, it has been awarded a 10-year port concession agreement, with a potential 5-year extension option, by bremenports GmbH & Co. KG on behalf of the city of Bremen regarding the operations at the Cruise Terminal Columbusbahnhof Bremerhaven. The cruise facilities at Bremerhaven Cruise Port are currently undergoing a multimillion- EUR investment by the local authorities, which once completed will expand and renew the port facilities.

In 2022, Bremerhaven Cruise Port welcomed over 230k passengers, with over 90% of these being homeport passengers. The location of the port means it is ideally located for Scandinavian and Baltic Sea itineraries. GPH expects to take over operations of the port in the first quarter of calendar year 2025, when the agreement with the current operator ends.
