Heavy lifts no problem for Elbferry
After the successful launch of the new Elbe crossing be- tween Brunsbüttel and Cuxhaven in March this year, the Elbferry shipping company not only seeks passenger and car traffic, but continues to expand its freight and hazardous goods logistics on a large scale. Thanks to its powerful engines, the LNG-fuelled ‘GREENFERRY I’ covers the route diagonally across Elbe in just 60 min- utes. The space available makes her an ideal bridge builder for the logistics sector. Elbferry’s marketing team recently succeeded in generating a first heavy lift shipment. Spedition Kuhnert used the ferry for a heavy lift shipment of 14 trucks. The concrete elements re- quired as supports for a rail underpass in the Flensburg area were rapidly transported from Lower Saxony to Schleswig-Holstein without any problems. That saved many kilometres plus considerable costs and avoided the detour via the Elbe Tunnel bottleneck at Hamburg.

New podcast: Hubi’s Port Chat
Every other Friday since the 832nd Port Anniversary, voices can be heard direct from the port. With his ‘Hubi’s Port Chat’ (Hubis Hafen- schnack), Hubert Neubacher, owner of Barkassen Meyer launches, pre- sents tales from the port in a blend of fascination and passion. The fo- cus is on interviews with differing characters, people in all manner of jobs. They speak of their everyday life, its challenges, great and small.
The port is the one element linking them all.
In the first episode Heike Masuch, HPA nautical officer and organizer of the Port Anniversary, speaks of her love of the port, and what
makes her native city so special. The next Port Chat will feature Gre- gor Mogi, owner of the launch company GREGORS and Maritime Cir- cle Line. He will discuss cooperation among launch owners and what
brought him into the port despite other plans.
The episodes can be found wherever podcasts can be heard. Peter Pickhuben is looking forward to future programmes, set to be re-
leased at regular intervals.
