Rail freight handling at Kombi-Transeuropa Terminal Hamburg (KTH) is optimized for rail transport of containers and trucks or swap-bodies in combined cargo traffic. Handling is done at HHLA Container Terminal Altenwerder (CTA). This central location offers ideal opportunities for feeding containers and swap-bodies into the network of the rail companies operating in the port. At the biggest container rail station in Europe, four modern rail cranes with rotating trolleys ensure rapid loading/unloading of block trains on nine 700-metre tracks.
CTA in Hamburg is the world’s first container handling facility to be certified climate-neutral. Primarily it is powered by green electricity, but how do the electrified processes work?
