The port of Ostermoor is located at the Southern part of Kiel-Canal, within immediate distance to the Brunsbüttel locks.
The port was erected in 1975 as supply and disposal facility for the nearby industry (Bayer AG Werk Brunsbüttel / TOTAL Bitumen Deutschland GmbH / Yara Brunsbüttel GmbH).
The handling facilities for ammonia, urea, crude oil and various liquid chemicals are factory-owned and located on port areas which are leased from Brunsbüttel Ports GmbH.
