Peter W. Lampke, today named PWL Group, was founded by Mr. Peter W. Lampke and Mr. Peter Koopman in Bremen on October 20th, 1964. Later the management of the company was passed along to Mr. Christian Koopman and Mr. Christian von Georg who are building the executive board of the PWL Group. Ever since the PWL Group has been a fully privatly owned entity.
PWL has grown from a traditional liner agent and shipbroker to a group of companies in order to fulfill the quickly changing demands of the market. Currently the PWL Group employs about 240 dedicated individuals all over Germany and is specialized in different business fields: General Cargo, Container, Feeder, RoRo, Cruise Ships, Transport, NVOCC and Logistics and Agency Services.
PWL Port Services, part of the PWL Group, was founded in 2010 and is today a leading port agency network for any kind of ships calling German ports and the Kiel-Canal. The executive board was expanded by Mr. Alexander Napp who joined PWL Port Services as managing director in spring of 2010.
PWL Port Services handles around 1500 vessel calls in Germany every year.
PWL Port Services is organized into three main divisions: a liner agency, a tramp agency and a cruise ship agency. From the head office in Hamburg, PWL Port Services operates branch offices located at all major German ports including the Kiel-Canal.
Due to the rapid growth of cruise tourism in our Northern European Region, PWL Port Services has created a specialized tour operator and port agency department to expand the passenger management activity during transit and turnaround calls at our German ports. This strategic choice has been rewarded by both market growth and encouraging future outlooks. Currently PWL Port Services can offer a complete service pattern to the cruise industry when calling our German waters.
PWL Port Services takes into account all of its individual clients’ needs and tailors its products and services to their requirements. Specially trained personnel and up-to-date technology guarantee around-the-clock operations in order to offer the most efficient service available on the market. The special services that are constantly being created and updated and the network of offices located at all major German ports and the Kiel-Canal are a clear commitment of this innovative and comprehensive way of operation.
Thanks to its extensive network of offices around Germany, PWL is well placed to serve cruise vessels calling at both established ports of call and emerging destinations throughout the German coast such as the islands of Sylt or Ruegen, which offers cruise operators services that extend far beyond customary port agency services. PWL Port Services manages multiple port calls through a single point of contact while your ships are in our waters. This philosophy suite the unique demands of the cruise industry well. In addition to easing communications, hub operations also reduce overhead costs through streamlined administration and centralized accounting.
Further, by drawing on the PWL Group's combined expertise and infrastructure in shipping, logistics and marine services, the PWL group of companies offers cruise operators a seamless single-source, door-to-deck global delivery service, for ships’ spares and supplies. Services are flexible - ranging from supply chain management including consolidation from multiple origins, with time-definite delivery on deck, to one-off shipments during emergencies or crises, even to challenging delivery points.
PWL Port Services guarantees superior service quality, commitment as well as personal and exclusive service. Customers receive the same high standard of service in whatever port their ships may call within the PWL Port Services German Network. PWL Port Services is pleased to provide customers with common accounting and financial supervision for all ports within our responsibility.

Wilhelmshaven was founded in 1869 as a navy-port. Since 1958 with the opening of the NWO-Terminal (Nord-West Oelleitung GmbH) Wilhelmshaven has been Germany’s deep-sea oil harbour.
Inaugurated in 2012, the only German deep-sea port JadeWeser Container Terminal adds potential towards calling German coasts. Since day one, PWL Port Services is your first choice for all services you may require, whether at this facility or in the oil harbour or even beyond.
The town is very attractive and during summertime many guests use Wilhelmshaven as holiday-resort at the North Sea coast. Close to the inner harbor are several museums including a naval museum with original ships and many exhibits out of the naval history. Visitors can admire an old traditional light vessel, a steamship and Europe’s biggest double-swing bridge.
Bremen and Bremerhaven are two international ports and commercial centers close to the North Sea coast. Both cities belong to the independent federal state of Bremen. It is Germany's second most important centre for foreign trade in automotives, electronics, steel, ship-building and aerospace industries as well as food and drink production.
Bremen: There's no time for boredom in the historical hanseatic city centre with its many attractions, lively restaurant and bar scene, and extensive parks and recreation areas.
Bremerhaven: The maritime city at the river Weser has developed into an attractive city for tourists over the past years. The new waterfront with its promenade, museums and shopping centers is stunning.
The port of Brake is located 26 kilometers away from the estuary mouth of the river Weser. The direct location and the deep waterway of the Weser were decisive for the development of the port Brake as a central reloading point. The international shipping traffic handles bulk goods and general cargo. Another new main focus is the project cargo such as wind energy constructions.
Cuxhaven is located in the north of Lower Saxony and is surrounded by water on two sides. With an ideal location and multimodal connections, the modern deep water terminal of Cuxhaven, “the Cuxport”, offers first class facilities for a rapid and smooth handling of cargoes. With four berths and two terminals as well as versatile warehousing facilities, the modern deep sea terminal, built in 1997, is ideally equipped to handle any requirements you may have.
Cuxhaven with its long sandy beaches, typical German beach chairs and its tidal flat makes this town very attractive for tourists from everywhere.
Stade lies on the south-west bank of the River Elbe, about 45 kilometers west of Hamburg.
Stade, the 1,000 year-old town, has beautifully restored houses and lovely places in its centre, which is surrounded by water. Stade is a lively town and ideal for culture and shopping.
Economically and culturally, the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg is the centre of Northern Germany.
The port of Hamburg is easy to access from the North Sea via the Elbe River and only about 71 miles separate the city from the river mouth. The port of Hamburg, one of the largest ports in the world, can handle every kind of goods and has become one of the most important cruise ports over the last years. Hamburg welcomes international guests with great architecture, an impressive skyline, many historic sites and museums, shopping in excellent gallerias, a varied nightlife with theatres and musicals and many well known hotels.
The world’s busiest artificial waterway, the Kiel-Canal (known in Germany as the Nord-Ostsee-Kanal) links the North Sea with the Baltic Sea. The Canal, 61 miles long, makes its way from Brunsbüttel to Kiel-Holtenau through beautiful Schleswig-Holstein. An average of 250 nautical miles will be saved by using the Kiel-Canal instead of the way around Skaw. During its construction time naval strategies were important - today the Kiel-Canal is the basis for the trade between the countries of the Baltic States and the rest of the world. In total, around 35.000 vessels pass the Kiel Canal each year which makes an average of 83 ships a day excluding small sporting boats.
The naval city Kiel, the federal state capital of Schleswig-Holstein, is known for shipbuilding and its maritime tradition. The sea extends right into the heart of the city and the Kiel fjord is lined with beaches. The maritime view of the city with its port installations, the entrance of the Kiel Canal, the huge cruise ships and ferries, and the enormous gantry cranes in the shipyard underline the naval attraction of Kiel. The hinterland of Kiel features many sights which are worth seeing on a day trip.
Lübeck was declared a World Cultural Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1987. The water-enclosed historic old town with its roughly 1,800 listed buildings, dominated by red-brick, gothic look, and its many museums attract tourists from everywhere. Formerly a Free Hanseatic City, an independent state, Lübeck is now, in terms of size, the largest city in the region of Schleswig Holstein and claims for itself the title of the cultural capital of the north. The lively port of Lübeck connects the city with all regions of Scandinavia and the German hinterland.
The district of Travemünde is fondly referred to as “Lübeck's fair daughter”. White and sandy beaches and over 200 years of history as a seaside resort together with the ferry port give Travemünde, right at the mouth of the Trave River, its special maritime charm.
Travemünde has seen dynamic developments in recent years and, today, the facilities for holidaymakers range from luxury hotels to family vacation villages. With its somewhat dreamy air, its cozy old-town lanes and historic facades, Travemünde is popular among tourists. The Scandinaviankai ferry terminal has been expanded to one of Europe’s largest and most modern and efficient transport centers, without seriously affecting the incomparable charm of this pearl of the Baltic.
Wismar, founded in the 13th century, is the second largest port in Mecklenburg-West Pomerania and the city counts 52,000 inhabitants. Located in a picturesque setting directly on the Baltic coast this charming historic old town has one of the best preserved mediaeval town centers in North Germany with many fine and unusual architectonic examples.
Wismar offers a most modern sea port used as import and export hub for many goods and cruise passengers. North-south traffic between Central Europe and Scandinavia, as well as the Baltic States and Russia, is bundled and distributed in Wismar.
In the historic city of Rostock there are many sights that first catch the eye: large churches, towers and city gates, gabled houses, warehouses and the city hall with its seven towers.
Rostock’s favorable geographical location, its convenient accessibility both land-side and sea-side, as well as large investments in the infrastructure, all contributed to Rostock’s port on the Warnow River becoming the number 2 port among German Baltic Sea ports.
Rostock’s cruise ship port in Warnemünde is among Germany’s most preferred ports for cruise tourism. Hundreds of thousands of tourists predominately from overseas use Rostock-Warnemünde as a base for exploring Germany’s capital city Berlin, as well as the treasures of the coastal region of the state of Mecklenburg-West Pomerania.
The port of Sassnitz is situated on the eastern side of the Isle of Ruegen and is thus the easternmost deep-water port in Germany. It is located directly in the open sea which results in an uncomplicated approach for ferries and cruise ships.
The habor city is sheltered by the famous white cliffs and stunning forests. Sassnitz features nice old town quarters and excellent shopping possibilities. A modern footbridge connects the lively main road with the city harbor and is a major sight with an excellent sea view.
