The future of Hamburg Port’s container business has been given a major boost with the news that the long-delayed Elbe River Deepening Project has been approved.
Port of Hamburg Marketing (HHM) is to open its own Port Representative Office in Hong Kong at the start of next year.
Hamburger Hafen und Logistik AG (HHLA) experienced strong growth in the first nine months of 2011 at its three container terminals at the Port of Hamburg.
Germany's largest container port at Hamburg, could see container volumes treble in the next 15 years. As oil and container ship fees continue to rise, more ships are docking at the port instead of going further afield and add to this the proposal to deepen the Elbe River, the future looks promising for Hamburg.
