Dear Readers,
The Port of Hamburg is truly an all-pur- pose port, where a wide range of goods are handled – from grain, cacao, spices and fruit to liquid cargo and extremely heavy project cargo.
However, day-to-day operations at the
port go beyond handling and include stor-
age, further transport to and from the hin-
terland, as well as processing or assembly
and disassembly work. All this has a pos-
itive effect on Hamburg as an economic
hub, as these processes generate substan-
tial added value. Here, the companies in
the port and transport sector have devel-
oped extensive know-how, which customers value highly.
The all-purpose port also plays a critical role for future development. It is a fundament pillar of the current port development plan, which naturally takes account of new types of goods, such as alternative energy sources including ammonia. The port companies are also in the process of developing and ex- panding new fields of business. Evos is a fantastic example of this. The location in Hamburg is ready to start storing and handling carbon dioxide straight away. It only needs to be launched on the market.
Read more about this and many more exciting examples in this Port of Ham- burg Magazine. Let yourself be transported into the fascinating world of the port.
Stay curious,
