I do know it is on when the cars leave Emden.
I took these during a tour, and check out Google maps Satellite view.

Wow, that's a pant-load of cars! Do they ship all makes from Emden or just VAG or what? I hope they're recycling all that plastic!

That aerial view! It's a huge storage facility, for sure. Wow. I did a quick eval and I'd guess there would be 40,000 or more cars there if all the available spaces spaces were filled.

Seems Volkswagen Group primarily.
MB and BMW appear to use Bremerhaven.
