Flyer with information for truckers and dispatchers simplifies transition to European Customs Seaport in Hamburg

Aimed primarily at truckers and dispatchers, the flyer “From Freeport to European Customs Seaport” to mark the abolition of the Freeport in Hamburg from 1 January 2013 is released. To ease the transitional phase to new Customs processes, the flyer contains practical hints for avoiding waiting times, obtaining status data/information on cargoes, opening or completion of transit procedure, availability of Customs officers and Customs offices, as well as details of permitted temporary storage periods for containers at the terminals.

Der Lotse Checkliste zur Umstellung vom Freihafen zum Seezollhafen

Zum 1. Januar 2013 erlöschen die bisher
gültigen Regelungen des Freihafens Hamburg.
Für betroene Unternehmen werden damit Umstellungen
notwendig: beispielsweise die Beantragung
von zollrechtlichen Bewilligungen, Neuanscha
ungen in der IT oder die Anpassungen
bisheriger Arbeitsabläufe.
Dies ist oft zeitaufwendiger als erwartet, insbesondere
wenn Ihre Beschäftigten fortgebildet
und neue Betriebsabläufe erprobt werden
müssen.

Strong exports ensure growth for Port of Hamburg in 2012 first half

In the first six months of 2012 the Port of Hamburg reported total throughput of 65.8 million tons (up 2.7 percent). At 45 million tons or 4.4 million TEU (20-ft standard containers), the container throughput that predominates in Hamburg as a universal port achieved a gain of 1.9 percent. The reason for this relatively modest growth was the total for empty containers, whereas throughput of loaded containers grew up by 4.7 percent to 3.8 million TEU. Weaker growth rates compared to the 2011 first half are explained by the unusually strong growth achieved at that time.
