HHLA links logistical processes in the transport chain. At its container terminals in its ports, containers are handled for import and export between ships, trains and trucks. HHLA’s rail companies connect port terminals on the North Sea, the Baltic Sea and the Adriatic with a network of hub and inland terminals in Central and Eastern Europe. Each time the containers are handled at a point of intersection in this network, they are sorted more precisely according to their destination regions. The intelligent link between container handling and transportation brings ports and the hinterland closer together, ensuring freight volumes for HHLA’s companies.
