Automation in the Container Terminals of the Port of Hamburg
Number 4, Volume XIX, December 2019 AUTOMATION IN THE CONTAINER TERMINALS OF THE PORT OF HAMBURG Andrej Dávid1, Jiří Tengler2 Summary: The port of Hamburg is the largest German seaport lying on the banks of the Elbe River, 115 kilometres from its estuary into the North Sea. Within container transhipment, it is on the third rank among European ports beyond the Dutch port of Rotterdam, and the Belgium port of Antwerp. Hamburg belonged to the first European ports that started handling containers at the end of the 1960s. In 1990, the port handled 1.696 mil. TEUs, in 2017, it was already 8.815 mil. TEUs. The port of Hamburg has four container terminals, two of which are automated or semi- automated terminals. The terminals differ in technical equipment, transhipment technology, handling systems. Key words: port of Hamburg, container terminals, handling systems, automated terminals INTRODUCTION The port of Hamburg is one of the oldest European ports which began transhipping containers in the late 1960s. The first container ship, the American Lancer, entered the port of Hamburg on 31 May 1968. This ship had already had a cellular structure of cargo hold. Between 1968 and 2017, a total of 186 million of standardized containers were handled in the port. Nowadays, Hamburg is the third largest European seaport in the transhipment of containers after the port of Rotterdam and the port of Antwerp. In 2017, 8.815 million TEUs were handled in the port that represents a decrease of 1.03% compared to 2016. Among the twenty world container ports, Hamburg was nineteenth in the transhipment of containers. -

Shipping Made in Hamburg
Shipping made in Hamburg The history of the Hapag-Lloyd AG THE HISTORY OF THE HAPAG-LLOYD AG Historical Context By the middle of the 19th Century the industrial revolution has caused the disap- pearance of many crafts in Europe, fewer and fewer workers are now required. In a first process of globalization transport links are developing at great speed. For the first time, railways are enabling even ordinary citizens to move their place of residen- ce, while the first steamships are being tested in overseas trades. A great wave of emigration to the United States is just starting. “Speak up! Why are you moving away?” asks the poet Ferdinand Freiligrath in the ballad “The emigrants” that became something of a hymn for a German national mo- vement. The answer is simple: Because they can no longer stand life at home. Until 1918, stress and political repression cause millions of Europeans, among them many Germans, especially, to make off for the New World to look for new opportunities, a new life. Germany is splintered into backward princedoms under absolute rule. Mass poverty prevails and the lower orders are emigrating in swarms. That suits the rulers only too well, since a ticket to America produces a solution to all social problems. Any troublemaker can be sent across the big pond. The residents of entire almshouses are collectively despatched on voyage. New York is soon complaining about hordes of German beggars. The dangers of emigration are just as unlimited as the hoped-for opportunities in the USA. Most of the emigrants are literally without any experience, have never left their place of birth, and before the paradise they dream of, comes a hell. -

Inland Waterway Sailors and City-Port Transformation in Hamburg
A View from Port to City: Inland Waterway Sailors and City-Port Transformation in Hamburg REIMER DOHRN Every morning, the names of about twelve cargo ships arriving in the port are announced by Hamburg’s two daily newspapers.1 The vessels listed in the papers include container ships, bulk carriers and cruise ships. Not listed are about 40 inland water way vessels, connecting the port of Hamburg to the Hinterland. These cargo units are around 80 meters long, carrying up to 1,000 tons of goods. Most of them are man- aged by only two persons, normally a captain and a boatman. Sometimes this function is held by the wife of the captain, who is also the owner. Some ship owners and drivers have a multi-generation family tradition as inland waterway sailors; others are former employees that were forced by their ship companies to become owners. Nearly half of the sailors are employees of shipping companies with 2 to 50 units. As in the port of Hamburg and upstream inland waterway vessels normally ship only during the day, they have to berth for the night in the harbour or on the riversides. Hamburg’s port is by far the largest sea port in Germany, of great economic importance for the country which is dependent on external trade. Since 1999, turnover has been increasing at percentage rates in double figures. The port is part of a North-European hub-and-spokes- system. For many destinations like Asia, South- and North-America and West-Africa, Hamburg is the hub and serves a lot of spoke-ports in 1 Hamburger Abendblatt and BILD. -
Marking a New Chapter in the History of Our City. Newspaper Narratives of Proposed Waterfront Star Architecture
Vol.3 Vol.4no.2| no.12021 | 2021 Image Credits ©Carola Hein, CC-BY-NC ©Carola Image Credits MAIN SECTION Marking a New Chapter in the History of our City. Newspaper Narratives of Proposed Waterfront Star Architecture Nadia Alaily-Mattar — Delft University of Technology, Netherlands — Contact: [email protected] Mina Akhavan — Politecnico di Milano, Italy — Contact: [email protected] Carola Hein — Delft University of Technology, Netherlands — Contact: [email protected] ABSTRACT A recurrent claim associated with the development of star architecture buildings along new urban waterfronts in port cities is that star architecture’s capacity to garner media exposure for a port city can support its efforts to communicate narratives of urban transformation. Even during the inception phase, a constellation of actors legitimizes these projects by cap- italizing on their power to attract media attention. The media play a role in the communica- tion and construction of narratives. This paper shows how newspaper narratives about a proposed star architecture project along the waterfront of a port city communicate transfor- mation proposals. The case study presented is the inception phase of the Elbphilharmonie in Hamburg, Germany. The findings are based on content analysis of 420 newspaper articles, published before the formal endorsement of the project. The findings indicate that news- papers communicated the sense-making value of the Elbphilharmonie based on the visual and emotional power of star architecture. Newspapers introduced notions of identity, citizen identification and Hanseatic particularity into the discourse and played an important role in explaining the promise of the Elbphilharmonie to become a symbol of the city’s commitment to the port, the maritime context and the Elbe river. -
