[HIGHLIGHTS] The port of Hamburg remains in crisis mode – but there is a glimmer of hope

The port of Hamburg remains in crisis mode – but there is a glimmer of hope. Last year, Germany's largest seaport suffered a decline in container throughput of around seven percent to 7.7 million standard containers (TEU) A good 114 million tons of sea freight were handled through the port of the Hanseatic city last year.

According to HHM, the Port of Hamburg's largest trading partner is still China, including Hong Kong. But container traffic here fell slightly compared to the previous year to just under 2.2 million TEU.
