The Elbe in front of Cuxhaven is the gateway to the North Sea. Ships that want to go to Cuxhaven pass through here, but also to the lock of the Kiel Canal to Brunsbüttel and to Hamburg. This means that there is a lot of shipping traffic in front of the port. In addition to the tankers, bulk carriers, general cargo carriers and feeder ships that transport containers, large container ships and cruise ships also travel across the Elbe to the port of Hamburg. This video shows a small survey boat. But also the high-speed catamaran that goes to Heligoland, an offshore supply ship, two tugs and a coast guard ship. The coast guard ship is from the fisheries inspectorate and is moved from one area of the port to another by the tugs.
