Bulk Cargo Handling

Bulk Cargo Handling
© HHM

The goods handled as bulk cargo in maritime transport, such as ore, coal, building materials, grain, fertilisers or mineral oil products, reached a total volume of 36.2 million tonnes in the Port of Hamburg in 2023. This corresponds to a decline of 8.9 percent compared to the previous year, which can be directly and indirectly attributed to stricter sanctions against Russia.

This corresponds to a stable result (-0.2 percent) compared to the previous year. There were contrasting trends in bulk goods handling, yet the overall volume remained stable at 36.2 million tonnes. The decrease in grabbable cargo (-6.2 percent to 19 million tonnes), primarily due to reduced coal imports, was balanced by rises in liquid cargo (mineral oil products, chemical products, or biodiesel) (+6.6 to 10.6 million tonnes) and suction cargo or agribulk (+8.4 percent to 6.6 million tonnes).
