Cuxport, a modern multimodal deep-water terminal located in Northern Germany, has implemented Kaleris’ Navis Mixed Cargo Terminal Operating System (TOS) to replace its legacy system.
In partnership with Kaleris, a leading provider of supply chain execution and visibility solutions, the Navis TOS optimises terminal operations and enhances process efficiencies.
Located at the mouth of the Elbe River, Cuxport is strategically positioned for multimodal connections to multiple transportation and logistics facilities. The versatile terminal handles a wide range of cargo — from automobiles to break bulk and wind power plant parts — with a special emphasis on RoRo cargo.
Cuxport offers logistics solutions for every transport operation, featuring five accessible berths, multiple storage facilities, trimodal inland connections (trucking, rail, and barge networks), and a highly skilled workforce. The terminal is a joint venture between the Rhenus Group and HHLA Container Terminals GmbH.
Prior to the implementation of Navis Mixed Cargo TOS, the terminal relied on multiple systems to handle different types of cargo. Now, both breakbulk and container management workflows are centralised in one scalable and flexible solution that can be configured to fit any sized business or terminal operation, complex handling workflows, and billing requirements.
The system’s digital capabilities substantially reduce manual data processing and provide improved visibility into operational processes. With improved insight into daily performance, Cuxport has achieved more efficient handling of RoRo and LoLo cargo, both specific areas of focus for the terminal.
“Running a multipurpose terminal, we are tasked with managing a variety of different cargo types and have the necessary expertise and specialised knowledge,” said Claudius Schumacher, Managing Director of Cuxport.
“We were looking for an established and trusted provider offering a broad range of process solutions, allowing us to select what best meets our needs and collaborate on developing customised features. With Kaleris, we found a reliable partner to develop a tailor-made terminal management system.”

“Our challenge as a multipurpose terminal with a wide variety of cargo types was to integrate diverse processes into a single system and facilitate electronic data exchange with business partners and authorities,” said Maike Lietmann, TOS Project Manager from Cuxport.
“Navis Mixed Cargo TOS effectively handles both breakbulk and container processes. By enhancing productivity and operational efficiency in daily operations, we’ve increased the effectiveness of administration and communication by digitising processes.”
