USA boosts Port of Hamburg’s 2019 half year container throughput

Container volumes for the first half of 2019 rose 7.5% year-on-year at the Port of Hamburg, primarily boosted by new services to ports in the USA, Canada and Mexico.

The USA has become the port’s second most important partner for container services due to the 283,000 teu handled in Hamburg with the country since the beginning of the year.

The Port of Hamburg is now directly linked by a total of 14 liner services with 29 ports in the USA, Mexico and Canada.
