INTERVIEWwith the Executive Board

Last year the high-quality range of services from Port of Hamburg operators resulted in a stable throughput total at the previous year’s level. Hamburg terminals handled cargoes totalling 136.5 mil- lion tons in 2017. With growing digitalization of port processes and expanding infrastructure, Hamburg is well positioned in Northern Europe, offering all the advantages of a high-performance hub port for routing worldwide transport chains. Yet its excellent international reputation requires untiring effort and professional location marketing – Port of Hamburg Marketing is committed to both with its numer- ous activities in the most essential core markets.

In this interview Joint CEOs Ingo Egloff and Axel Mattern look back on 2017.

The quality and speed of clearance, the hinterland infrastructure, as well as the tremendous range of logistics services, persuade port customers through- out the world to route their cargoes via Hamburg. To mention one example: with more than 200 freight trains daily reaching or leaving the Port of Hamburg, we are the clear leader in Europe. To mention Ham- burg as Europe’s No. 1 rail port is no mere advertising slogan, but a fact much valued by customers world- wide.

What part does Port of Hamburg Marketing play here?

Axel Mattern: The sheer clout of the Port of Ham- burg rests on numerous companies throughout the Metropolitan Region. In our association, we meld the strengths of these into one performance profile. For us, it is essential that we communicate the Port of Hamburg’s advantages as a transport hub for world- wide transport chains so as to attract cargo to Ham- burg. What matters in the transport business, espe- cially, are reliability and the long-term view. Last year

ACTIVITY REPORT Transport policy lobbying

German seaports are of immense importance for the entire German economy. The Port of Hamburg alone annually generates nationwide added value of 21.8 billion euros and secures around 269,000 jobs, of which 113,000 are outside the Hamburg Metropolitan Region. If Hamburg is to continue to assert itself as a port & logistics centre against international competition, its infrastructural frame- work needs to be right. Along with other partners, Port of Hamburg Marketing therefore champions positioning of essential traffic infrastructure projects.

The Baltic Region accounts for Hamburg’s European container transport to 69 percent. A major share of this trade is transhipment traffic that mainly links the Far East and the Baltic Region via the Port of Hamburg. As an overseas port, Hamburg fulfils an important hub function for the distribution of feeder cargo, scoring with its geographical proximity to the markets, as well as its dense network of feeder liner services.

MARKET AND ACTIVITY REPORT Asia

Asia traditionally forms part of Hamburg’s strongest sea trade. In 2017 seaports in Asia were there- fore among the winners on container transport with Hamburg. With 4.7 million TEU, around 53 percent total container throughput in Hamburg was loaded for Asia or discharged from there. That represented a slight downturn of one percent or 45,000 TEU on 2016. Companies in Asia value the universal port of Hamburg for its extremely good hinterland infrastructure in Europe.
