Rohstoffe

Industrial raw materials and intermediate goods for further processing are handled at various terminals in the Port of Hamburg. Imports and exports of scrap and steel, ore and coal, fertilizers and construction materials pass over the quays. Innovative and modern handling facilities ensure fast and flexible service.

Scrapped machines and industrial equipment, junk cars and discarded household appliances serve as raw material for the metalworking industry.

Mixtures of mineral materials and gravel for use in construction are mostly imported from Scotland and Scandinavia.

Ore and coal are of great importance for the German power supply branch and steel industry.

Most of the fertilizer handled in the Port of Hamburg is for the export trade.
