The Port of Hamburg and Journey North on the River Elbe, Germany - 14th September, 2014
The Port of Hamburg is a port in Hamburg, Germany, on the River Elbe. The harbour is located 110 kilometres from the mouth of the Elbe into the North Sea.
It is named Germany's Gateway to the World and is the largest port in Germany. In terms of TEU throughput, the port of Hamburg is the third-busiest port in Europe (after the ports of Rotterdam and Antwerp) and 15th-largest worldwide.
The harbour covers an area of 73.99 km² (64.80 km² usable), of which 43.31 km² (34.12 km²) are land areas. The location is naturally advantaged by a branching Elbe, creating an ideal place for a port complex with warehousing and transshipment facilities.
The River Elbe flows through the centre of Hamburg and is the port's lifeline to the North Sea. It is one of the major rivers of Central Europe. It rises in the Krkonoše Mountains of the northern Czech Republic before traversing much of Bohemia (Czech Republic), then Germany and flowing into the North Sea at Cuxhaven, 110 km (68 mi) northwest of Hamburg. Its total length is 1,094 kilometres (680 mi).
This film begins in central Hamburg on the Eastern bank of the River Elbe, where footage shows both heavy shipping and much smaller personal and passenger craft. It then focuses on the cruise ship MSC Magnifica, which is ported at Hamburg Cruise Terminal (near Altona).
After this the footage is directly taken from the MSC Magnifica, and firstly shows surrounding views of the Port, River Elbe and City of Hamburg. Before the journey North out of Hamburg begins.
From here onwards, footage is of the Port, passing shipping including Hapag Lloyd passenger vessels, a paddle steamer, ferries and container ships.
Hamburg Finkenwerder Airport is featured, with good views of an Airbus A300-600ST (Super Transporter) or Beluga, which is parked by one of the hangars.
After this footage goes to the wider Elbe, where the city disappears and gives way to rural and agricultural land as the sun begins to set in the distance. The film ends at night as the MSC Magnifica approaches the Elbe estuary to enter the North Sea.

Port of Hamburg in 2019 | An Outlook (Part I)
What is happening in the Port of Hamburg in 2019? A lot - that's what the first episode of smartPort TV shows. Jens Meier, CEO of HPA, and presenter Matthias Wolk drove through the port on the Hafenkapitän and talked about the upcoming topics for this year.
For the HPA, the repair of the St. Pauli Elbe Tunnel is a matter close to the heart. In spring, the Hamburg residents can use the newly renovated east tunnel for the first time.
The HPA manages around 50 ships and 40 barges for the Port of Hamburg - this year the fleet is growing to include multifunctional fire-fighting vessels with environmentally friendly hybrid propulsion. Another important topic for 2019 is the adaptation of the fairway. This year, the fairway will be widened so that large ships can meet each other safely in oncoming traffic.
One of the most important construction projects in the Port of Hamburg is the new Kattwyk railway bridge. A good example of modern and smart traffic management in the port. Part 1 of the outlook gives an interesting insight into the port year 2019!

Germany: The Port of Hamburg
On June 13th I visited Hamburg and participated in an alternative port cruise organized by the youth department of the DGB trade union.
The Port of Hamburg (Hamburger Hafen) is a seaport and deep-water harbor in Hamburg on the river Elbe. The location is naturally advantaged by a branching Elbe, creating an ideal place for a port complex with warehousing and transhipment facilities. The extensive free port also enables toll-free shipping.
Founded on May 7th, 1189 by Frederick I for its strategic location, it has been Central Europe's main port for centuries and enabled Hamburg to develop early into a leading city of trade.
During the second half of the 19th century, Hamburg became Central Europe's main hub for transatlantic passenger and freight travel, and from 1871 onward, it was Germany's principal port of trade.
Now it is called Germany's Gateway to the World and is the largest port in Germany. It is the third-largest port of Europe (after the port of Rotterdam and the port of Antwerp).
Since the harbor is located in a distance of 110 kilometers from the mouth of the Elbe and the water level is influenced by the tides, some ships at times have difficulties accessing the port. Deepening of the river Elbe in response is very controversial for ecological reasons.
The handling of containers is an important activity. The economic crisis of 2009 also has an influence on these activities nowadays. For many dock workers there is less work to do.
[3G] Big Ships Between the Port of Hamburg & North Sea, Stadersand, Germany 08/06/2016 ©mbmars01
Stadersand is a a part of the German town Stade which is located on the west bank of the river Elbe near Hamburg. This section of the river, 60 miles long, connects the major Port of Hamburg with the North Sea, which makes this one of the busiest shipping routes in Europe. Within about the hour of my visit, several big ships came by: Container ships MSC Oriane, MOL Quest, Cape Mayor, and the hopper dredger Bartolomeu Dias. Enjoy! [© 2016 MBMARS Productions.

Port of Hamburg is Europe's leading railway port
In 2018, the Hamburger Hafenbahn again recorded a record result with double-digit growth. The Hamburg Port Authority supports this growth with projects such as the locomotive service station, which offers 32 parking spaces for locomotives. The aim of the locomotive service centre is to avoid unnecessary empty runs, to benefit the environment and to create capacities on the tracks of the port railway. The heart of the system is an 80 x 75 metre transfer table system that moves the rail vehicles to the parking position. In addition to the new locomotive parking areas, the service station also offers a sand filling station and one for diesel.
It is located in the west of the port of Hamburg in the station Alte Süderelbe.

Port of Hamburg in 2018 | An Outlook (Part I)
CEO of the Hamburg Port Authority Jens Meier gives an outlook on the most important developments and projects in the port of Hamburg in 2018. Among them: the development of a new river crossing in the area of the Köhlbrand Bridge, the continuous digitisation and optimisation of work flows in the port as well as the pilot projekt for the new mobile communications standard 5G.
Mar Port of Hamburg Container terminal operations
Sea transport is the most used freight mode in foreign trade.
It requires the use of other means for the final delivery, or the consignee to be near the port.
The cheapest one. There are different fares for FCL Full Container Load and LCL Less than Container Load.
Slow, 10 km per h aprox, max.32 km per h.
Long distances, over 2000 kms.
It is possible to navigate long certain channels and rivers, e.g. the Rihn, the Danube, the Mississippi, the zone of the Great Lakes or some Norwegian fiords.
Port of Hamburg in 2019 | An Outlook (Part 2)
The Port of Hamburg is getting ready for the future. This becomes clear in the second part of the 2019 annual outlook on smartPort TV. HPA managing director Jens Meier takes presenter Matthias Wolk on the Hafenkapitän through the harbour and talks about the plans.
The first stop is the Köhlbrand Bridge, which has been one of the most important transport axes in the Port of Hamburg since its inauguration in 1974. But by the year 2030 it is no longer considered economically viable. HPA Managing Director Meier reports on the current status and gives an insight into considerations for the new Köhlbrand crossing.
The locomotive service is already new and expanded. This is intended to reduce the number of locomotive trips by more than a third. Hamburg has become one of the hotspots of the cruise industry and is now one of the most important cruise ports in the world. And a new cruise terminal is under construction.
Reducing emissions is also an important issue. The Port of Hamburg is taking this issue very seriously: there is already a shore-side power plant and the possibility of supplying ships with low-emission liquefied natural gas (LNG) during their laytime. Digitisation is also an important future topic for the Port of Hamburg. The latest network technology, 5G, is being tested here. In addition, the Green4transPort project is intended to test the intelligent networking of vehicles with each other and with dynamically controlled traffic lights for the first time. With the Port Wings project, the HPA wants to investigate how drones can be integrated into everyday port life.
In part 2 of the annual outlook 2019 one learns a lot of interesting things about the future-oriented exciting topics in the port of Hamburg!

Hamburg, AIDAluna and AIDAsol leave the Port of Hamburg - Germany 4K Travel Channel
AIDAluna and AIDAsol belong to the so-called Sphinx class and can accommodate up to 2,500 passengers and 600 crew members.
The cruise ships were built by the Meyer Werft shipyard in Papenburg. Owned by the Costa Crociere SpA which in turn is part of Carnival Corporation & plc.
To see both ships at the same time is quite impressive, especially the maneuvers carried out in the not too broad Hamburg harbor.
Shortly before the AIDAluna set sail the container ship Yang Ming Uniformity reached the harbor and was towed to its mooring.
