FOREIGN TRADE ZONES 
as marked in the plan of Emden (boundary of the former island 
Nesserland). 
The various harbors, with the exception of the Aussenhafen, do 
not have direct access to the sea, but are only entered and left by 
means of locks. They are connected with each other. 
Terminals and warehouses.—The Alter Hafen, the farthest inland 
basin, and also the oldest part of the Emden Hafen, is right in the 
center of the city. It covers a water area of 10 hectares (25 acres) 
and has a depth from 4.5 to 6 meters (14 feet 10 inches to 19 feet 
8 inches). Its length amounts to 435 meters (479 yards) and the 
greatest width to 165 meters (182 yards). Some private sheds are 
found there, and farther uptown some old warehouses are alongside 
the water front, whereas on the right bank the rails of the Reichsbahn 
(German National Railroad) touch the basin. This section of the port, 
however, is of hardly any importance to the foreign trade, as, owing to 
the level of the water, vessels of large draft are not able to come up 
so far. Mostly smaller coasting vessels and barges having direct 
cargo for the port itself discharge the cargo here under supervision of 
the customs. 
A pivot bridge (railway) divides the Alter Hafen from the Binnen- 
hafen. This section of the harbor covers a water area of 34 hectares 
(74 acres), has a depth of 5.3 to 7 meters (19 feet 8 inches to 23 feet), 
its length amounts to 2,030 meters (2,233 yards), and its averag® 
width to 95 meters (105 yards). This basin has three cuts on its left 
side on which various fishing companies and small shipyards are 
situated. On its right side.there is a cut for the government shipyard 
with a small dry dock. This harbor has open storage space of about 
3,500 square meters (37,574 square feet), as well as 1,000 meters (1 ,100 
yards) quay accommodations, of which about 50 per cent ig connected 
with the Reichsbahn (German Railroad). The so-called Zungenka! 
has a length of 440 meters (484 yards). This quay is equipped with 
a shed of 1,660 square meters (17,868 square feet) storage capacity; 
five traveling cranes of 2.5 tons lifting capacity each, and one fixed 
crane of 10 tons capacity. 
To the right of the Binnenhafen is the Industrie Hafen. It has @ 
length of 1,250 meters (1,375 yards), a depth of 9 meters (29 feet 0 
inches), and a width of 165 meters (182 yards). On the left bank the 
Nordseewerke (a shipyard) is situated, and further up a briquette 
factory. On the right bank is the Hohenzollernhiitte, a smelting and 
refining mill. 
The above-mentioned sections of the harbor are situated inside the 
customs boundaries, and the following sections are free harbors: 
The Neuer Binnenhafen, which is also separated from the Binne™ 
hafen and the Industriehafen by a pivot railway bridge, was given ove 
to public trafficin 1913. It hasan area of 41 hectares (101 acres) and?
