Steady growth at HHLA

Container volumes increased by 2.6% at Hamburger Hafen und Logistik AG (HHLA) in the first quarter of 2018, driven by growth in Asian traffic.

An 8.9% rise in Asian traffic was partially offset by a lower share in feeder traffic and higher storage fees, with revenue increasing moderately by 4.9% to €192m (US$227m).

Angela Titzrath, chairwoman of HHLA’s executive board, said: “We intend to invest more than €1bn (US$1.2bn) over the next five years in order to strengthen our Hamburg location and to continually
expand our intermodal network.”
