Hamburg is often called the gateway to the world. And in fact, Hamburg has one of the densest networks of liner services in Europe, making it an important transport hub for the worldwide flow of cargo.

Specialised liner routes link Hamburg to six continents.In the year 2010, more than 100 scheduled container liner services sailed from Hamburg and made direct calls at around 700 ports of destination, with about 250 additional destinations being serviced indirectly (via transhipments).
