  Hungary – Well-established logistics chains
With an advance of 4.9 percent, in 2019 the Hun- garian economy remained on a growth course. To support this positive trend, Krisztina Kovacs, head of Port of Hamburg Marketing – HHM’s Represent- ative Office in Budapest, cultivated the Hungarian market intensively. On account of its geographical location, this remains notable for ongoing compe- tition from Southern ports. Its excellent hinterland transport links and well-established logistics chains make the Port of Hamburg an attractive partner for Hungary.
In 2019 Krisztina Kovacs visited various transport and logistics conferences, several specialist forums and customer briefing events hosted by compet-
ing ports, successfully expanding her network. A function hosted jointly with Hamburger Hafen und Logistik – HHLA at the new Metrans Terminal in Budapest-Csepel on 10 April drew an excellent at- tendance of well over 100 interested experts, mainly from Hungary, Slovakia, Czech Republic and Austria. They were able to listen to lectures on digitalization in the Port of Hamburg, new Metrans routes, and DBO – Deutsche Bahnoperator – on the New Silk Road.
The Port Evening in Budapest in May was also a complete success. This function for the local logis- tics industry offered an ideal platform for dialogue on the latest developments in the Port of Hamburg as well as the Hungarian transport industry.

With a study tour to Hamburg, in 2019 HHM once again provided support for the upcoming generation in Hungary’s transport and logistics industry. Partic- ipants had the opportunity of briefing themselves
on the Port of Hamburg’s significance in worldwide trade, logistics processes in the terminals, port man- agement and even advance ship planning.
