The container featuring the four Bremen Town Musicians was EUROGATE¡¯s contribution to the campaign initiated by the Senator for Economic Affairs, Labour and Ports of Bremen to artistically design a number of containers to mark the anniversary of 50 years of container shipping in Germany. The most creative steel box received an award at the EUROGATE/BLG LOGISTICS anniversary event on 4 May 2016. Exactly 50 years ago, on 5 May 1966, the ¡°MS Fairland¡± owned by the US shipping company Sea-Land was the first full container ship to be handled by BLG LOGISTICS at Bremen¡¯s seaport. This marked the beginning of containerisation in Germany. In 1999, the Bremen BLG LOGISTICS Group and Hamburg-based EUROKAI consolidated their container business activities in the EUROGATE joint venture. In the interim years, EUROGATE has developed to become Germany¡¯s largest container terminal operator as well as Europe¡¯s leading shipping line-independent terminal network. As well as Bremen/Bremerhaven and Hamburg, the Group has operations at 12 international seaports.
