Dear Readers,
The world of logistics is once again
meeting in-person at ‘transport logis-
tic’ in Munich. This trade fair is a focal
point for thousands of companies –
whether as exhibitors or visitors. Both
the Port of Hamburg and Logistik-Initi-
ative Hamburg will be showcasing the
sheer diversity of the logistics hub on
their joint ‘Gateway Hamburg’ stand.
The companies will be presenting just
how deep the Port of Hamburg has
already delved into its transformation.
The focus will be on its metamorpho-
sis into a climate-neutral, more efficient
port with sustainable offerings. One of
the most important instruments here is
digitalization. With the Santana project,
the network of networks will emerge
in the Port of Hamburg. All players in-
volved in the transport process should
be easily able to access or upload data
and documents via a marketplace.
Hamburg Port Authority and Dakosy
software house are currently setting up a test version. HHLA – Hamburger Hafen und Logistik AG is always making history, when it comes down to modernizing the port. The high level of automation at Container Terminal Altenwerder has long since been everyday business. Current projects such as HHLA Sky, a drone control station that is able to handle more than 100 drones autonomously, are far advanced there.
Parallel to this, preparations are running at full speed to develop the Port of Hamburg into an energy hub. Air Products, one of the biggest hydro- gen producers in the world, and Oiltanking Deutschland announced the construction of an import terminal for green ammonia in November. This was one of the first measures for setting up a comprehensive hydrogen added-value chain. This should also include the decommissioned Moorburg coal-fired power station, where an electrolyser should be producing up to 800 MW. At the beginning of March, Hamburger Energiewerke bought the site from Vattenfall. Now Hamburg can really get down to the planning. We would be delighted to have the opportunity of presenting the diverse range of ‘Gateway
Hamburg’s’ offerings to you personally at ‘transport logistic’. You can al- ready gain a first impression from our magazine. I wish you a most enjoya- ble read. Stay curious.
