There is a division of responsibilities between Federal Government, the federal States (Länder) and local authorities and other main port stakeholders (e.g. industry, trade unions) which makes it difficult to identify common goals and strategies.
Odgovornost zanje si delijo zvezna vlada, zvezne dežele (Länder) in lokalni organi ter drugi pomembni deležniki pristanišč (npr. industrija, sindikati), zato je težko opredeliti skupne cilje in strategije.
