 CONTENTS AT A GLANCE HHM LOCATIONS & MARKETS ACTIVITIES CONTACT Page 47 Transport policy lobbying successfully places maritime/logistics topics
  The Port Evening at the State of Hamburg’s repre- sentative villa in Berlin, as well as regular attendance at parliamentary evenings, offer good opportunities for placing port policy topics in Berlin. Along with other trade associations, requests were put to the Federal Ministry of Transport for support on individ- ual transport projects, but also on such digitalization topics as the use of AIS. These were reinforced by regular contacts between the Joint CEOs and the Federal Minister of Transport, his under-secretaries, the German government’s Maritime Coordinator and MPs of various parties.
Along with seven other associations from the mari- time sector, Port of Hamburg Marketing – HHM reg- ularly organizes port breakfasts for members of the German Lower House. This event format is very suita- ble for putting over current challenges for the seaport industry, shipping, transport and logistics to political decision-makers. These events serve to put across
to parliamentary under-secretaries and members of parliament the significance of the maritime economy, which is responsible for 440,000 jobs in Germany.
Active contributions in various bodies in the German Transport Forum, Logistics Alliance Germany and the Maritime Capital Forum, as well as political founda- tions and trade organizations, also serve to convey positions adopted by the Port of Hamburg plus the ports of the Metropolitan Region.
In addition, a lively dialogue is maintained with the
transport ministries of the federal states. Regular topics there include the significance of seaport-hin- terland transport and of inland terminals, as well
as initiating sustained transport chains by rail. The
‘Hamburg-NRWplus’ project to boost shipments by rail and inland waterway craft between Hamburg und North-Rhine-Westphalia is just one example.
