Ports / MRN Closure

MRN Closure Wilhelmshaven - WHT System (JadeWeserPort)

Updated: March 2026Reading time: ~6 min

Wilhelmshaven's JadeWeserPort is Germany's only deep-water container terminal, capable of handling the largest ULCV-class container vessels without tidal restrictions. The port uses the WHT system for export registration and connects to the German ATLAS customs system for MRN closure.

WHT System - How Does It Work?

WHT (Wilhelmshaven Hafentelematik) is the port information system operated by the Bremen/Bremerhaven port IT operator for JadeWeserPort, which is operated by Eurogate. WHT is integrated with the German ATLAS customs system. WHT handles export registration, container tracking, and customs data exchange - similar to BHT in Bremerhaven and ZAPP/EMP in Hamburg.

MRN Closure Procedure in Wilhelmshaven

  1. Export declaration in ATLAS - Ausfuhranmeldung is submitted and the MRN is assigned
  2. Export registration in WHT - the container and MRN are registered in the WHT system
  3. Container delivery to JadeWeserPort
  4. Vessel loading - loading confirmation is transmitted from WHT to ATLAS
  5. Exit confirmation messages - IE507 and IE590 are generated by ATLAS
  6. IE518 - results are sent to the Polish customs office of export
  7. Export confirmation (Ausgangsvermerk in Germany, CC599C in Poland) - export confirmation is issued by the AES/ECS2 PLUS system
