Two cruise ships were handled at one Ostseekai terminal until now, however, there will be a dedicated terminal building for each ship going forward.

Kiel Lord Mayor Dr Ulf Kämpfer said: “May the new terminal be a place of anticipation of the cruise to be started for any passenger. It will provide first-class handling quality and strengthen Kiel’s position in this contested market at the same time.”

Port of Kiel managing director Dr Dirk Claus said: “One terminal for each berth means optimum service for shipping companies and passengers alike. We adapt our capacities to the increasing number of passengers and the ever-growing size of the ships.”

Set to involve an investment of €9m for the Port of Kiel, the new facility will become operational in the coming season.

The consortium Terminalgebäude Liegeplatz 28 GbR, which comprises eins:eins Architekten Hillenkamp and Roselius and the Architect’s Office Ladwig, designed the 3,700m² two-storey building.
