Kohlenschiffhafen

Kohlenschiffhafen (Coal ship harbour) is a harbour basin of the port of Hamburg, Germany, connected with the Norderelbe anabranch of River Elbe.

It is located between the promontories of Köhlbrandhöft to the west and Tollerort to the east.

[2] Initially it had a length of approximately 1.2 kilometres (0.75 mi).

The expanded Container Terminal Tollerort can be found on the largely filled in harbour basin today.

[2] Works are underway in 2016 to fill up the small rest of the basin.
