Heavy goods in XXL format passing through the Port of Hamburg

On 10 August 2009, the Port of Hamburg was the scene of a very special event.

Seaborne cargo in the Port of Hamburg in the first half of 2009 remains below last year’s levels

The drop in cargo volumes in Hamburg seems to have bottomed out, however. Stabilization and recovery are expected in the second half of the year.

Multipurpose Terminals

Multipurpose terminals handle heavy lifts, conventional general cargo and project cargo, as well as containers.

Even though around 97 percent of the general cargo is now handled in containers, the remaining volume of “conventional general cargo” is still very important to the port. Hamburg has special terminals for conventional handling of things like vehicles, fruits, vegetables, paper and cardboard, wood pulp, metals, iron and steel.

Furthermore, special equipment is available to handle large and heavy machines and industrial components.

UNIKAI

The company UNIKAI loads and unloads new and used cars, trucks, containers and all kinds of general cargo for pure car carriers and pure car and truck carriers.
