1.47 million standard containers passed through the port of Hamburg in the first three months of this year. That’s according to the port authority HHLA.
Revenue was also up 18.8 percent, reaching EUR 435.6 million. Growth in the intermodal segment rose to just over 33 percent. And pre-interest and -tax profits soared 86.6 percent to EUR 32.5 million.
The increases were down largely to increased activity from China, which compensated for decreases in markets like North America and the Middle East.
The HHLA has invested heavily in infrastructure in recent years to meet the demands of international trade.
