Risk assessment for ammonia storage in the port
The Northwest Metropolitan Region is promoting a joint project between Bremerhaven and Wilhelmshaven to assess the risks of ammonia bunkering. The aim is to develop preventive safety concepts for the future use of ammonia as a marine fuel. The background to this is the increasing importance of ammonia as a climate-friendly alternative to fossil fuels and the expectation that around 30 percent of all ships will be powered by it by 2050. The ports want to prepare for this development at an early stage so that they are “ammonia-ready” in two to three years' time, while at the same time providing the best possible protection for people and the environment.

Welcome, Axel Stiehler!
Axel Stiehler is not really new to Bremerhaven University of Applied Sciences, as he has been teaching editorial design, information graphics, graphic storytelling and corporate design in the Digital Media Production (DMP) programme since 2018. However, the former lecturer is now teaching first-year students on campus as a professor of design. In this interview, he reveals what changes this new (academic) role brings, how Bremerhaven University of Applied Sciences supports lecturers on their path to becoming professors, and what remains most important to Axel Stiehler when working with students.
Congratulations Bremerhaven: Now you can help decide on the logo for the city's anniversary
Bremerhaven will celebrate its 200th anniversary in 2027 and is already inviting all citizens to join in the celebrations. The search is on for the best logo for the anniversary year. Fifteen designs by students at Bremerhaven University of Applied Sciences are up for selection. Votes can be cast online or during an exhibition at the Historical Museum.
Who will find Bremerhaven University of Applied Sciences the best fit, Ann-Kathrin?

Passionate about research
The university has four research clusters in which it works on a broad range of topics to address the societal challenges of our times.
Discover all four research clusters by clicking on the tabs.
A clear priority in the university's research and development activities is the area of energy and marine technology. A considerable percentage of the university's third-party research funding can be attributed to this area.
Research activities in the life sciences are largely built on the expertise in the study programmes Biotechnology, Food Technology, Medical Technologies and Physician Assistant. Apart from marine research topics ranging from marine microbiology to fisheries biology, application-oriented research in the food sector is also of exceptional importance.
Linking the disciplines of 'logistics' and 'information systems' in one research cluster allows us to conduct applied research to identify, evaluate and realise potential for logistics and related areas. This is how we connect different areas, including such areas as digitalisation and maritime processes.
The research cluster Tourism and Management brings together research in the areas of the international tourism industry (esp. cruise tourism) and general management. In both areas, the focus is primarily on strategic issues and application-oriented, practical research.
