The traffic of containers is expanding, with 425,000 TEUs handled in 2012, and 50% of them were carried by river.
A fifth crane should be installed to carry containers transported via rail at the end of 2013.
In the future, the port would like to create a new container terminal with a gantry crane in the area of Lauterbourg.
The company has a fleet of nine Dutch-style ships, able to pass under the bridges, which 700,000 tourists use each year.
The estate of the port includes several sites which range over a distance of 100 km (60 mi), which together represent an area of 1,060 hectares (2,600 acres) with 200 hectares (490 acres) of docks.
