Securing the location while at the same time expanding new and innovative business fields, integrating logistics chains and handling customer interests professionally make HHLA a strong player. It remains a major priority for the Senate to provide and maintain the necessary infrastructure so that the players between the port basin, quay edges and hinterland can operate efficiently."
