The retail sale of ships’ stores and provisions is allowed in the free
zone only by permission of the police.
Used ship’s equipment, left-over goods from vessels, etc., can only
be sold in the free zone to certain firms by permission of the police
Dispatch secured in unloading vessels.—As the greatest part of the
cargo that arrives or leaves Emden is in the transit trade and mostly
consists of bulk cargo, such as iron, steel, ore, coal, etc., the Neue!
Binnenhafen, where most of the bulk cargo (with the exception o
grain) is dispatched, is equipped with the most modern equipment
The railway facilities are adequate, and thus Emden is able to d¥
patch consignments in bulk very quickly. It might be mention
that, during the British coal strike in 1926, 600,000 tons of goods Wer
handled at Emden in one month.
The two sheds on the quay of the Aussenhafen are roomy and 8%
divided in various sections. Ample light is also available. On th?
side facing the water, as well as at the back, these sheds have a co”
tinuous series of sliding doors, so that they may be opened at any po?
directly opposite the vessels or railroad cars. The dock area has 1
own high-pressure water supply, special fire stations, and its ow’
electric service station; all cranes are driven by electricity.
