Transport network and ports

A functioning transport system, together with attractive regional conditions, is the basis for Bremen's development as a port, trading and industrial centre. The Bremen Chamber of Commerce's Department for Regional Economic Policy consequently backs a consistent infrastructure development programme, as well as a sensible treatment of all factors affecting Bremen and its environs. Moreover, the Department is responsible for the area of technical qualifications and hazardous goods legislation. In particular, it conducts examinations of prospective road haulage and passenger transport companies, trains drivers of vehicles carrying hazardous goods and runs training courses for hazardous goods safety advisors.
