INFRASTRUCTURE PORT ■
HHLA renewing infrastructure
Hamburger Hafen und Logistik is constantly improving its infrastructure
Expansion of automated block storage
The use of automated storage crane systems is con- siderably boosting storage capacity at CTB – HHLA Container Terminal Burchardkai on the existing area. Space-saving automated storage both eliminates the need for dedicated van-carrier lanes and enables containers to be stacked higher.
Twelve storage blocks are already in service, while three are under construction. A total of 22 storage blocks should have been completed by 2024. Use of space-saving automated storage systems enables HHLA to exploit port and logistics areas with maxi- mum possible efficiency.
Additional container gantry cranes for new mega-ship berth
Two new container gantry cranes arrived at HHLA Container Terminal Burchardkai (CTB) in May. With a total of five new mega-ship container gantry cranes – the first three of identical design having already been delivered at the beginning of November 2019 – HHLA has now secured an additional mega-ship berth at Burchardkai.
With the new container gantry cranes, HHLA is se- curing additional capacity for clearing especially
large containerships with capacities of 24,000 TEU standard containers and more. The booms of the new cranes are almost 80 metres long and can reach over 26 rows of containers. Over 30 container gan- try cranes are now in operation at HHLA Container Terminal Burchardkai, 18 of these are ‘mega-ship cranes’. Entry into service of the five new container gantry cranes increases the number of CTB’s me- ga-ship berths from two to three. HHLA has one ad- ditional mega-ship berth in the Port of Hamburg at its Container Terminal Tollerort.
HHLA Container Terminal Tollerort – CTT Additional storage space for containers
Following the infilling of the former coal port, addi- tional areas have been secured for HHLA Contain- er Terminal Tollerort – CTT. These are currently be- ing equipped to expand its container storage capacity. Completion is anticipated for end-2020/ early-2021. (jh)
