CTB brings forward parking space expansion

In order to improve traffic flows at Hamburg’s largest container terminal, Burchardkai (CTB) a number of construction projects are being brought forward which will also help the terminal to cope with the further growth in trucks volumes.

Trucks are a key mode of transport at CTB and throughout the Port of Hamburg and in recent weeks it has once again become apparent that the container terminal can only operate at full capacity with optimal truck handling conditions.

Jens Hansen, CTB’s managing director said: “Once this construction work has been completed, it will considerably reduce the frequency of tailbacks affecting the public road network.” This will help all those concerned, particularly forwarders and truckers as well as contributing to easing the port’s traffic congestion.
