HHLA Logistics Network

Our heart beats in the Port of Hamburg, where we combine our extensive know-how, our innovative strength and our many years of experience. From here, we connect important locations in Europe with our strategically positioned logistics network. Via our numerous logistics hubs, we create seamless connections between European ports and the hinterland. Our goal: sustainable, resilient and reliable supply chains that meet the growing demands of transport logistics.

At the universal terminal O'Swaldkai, two HHLA subsidiaries come together, which can handle practically any ship's cargo. At UNIKAI, our focus is on rolling cargo (RoRo) and project cargo. Here, vehicles and heavy goods vehicles, as well as other goods, are handled and, if necessary, stored in the yard. Our HHLA Fruit and Refrigeration Centre is Germany's largest fruit terminal. It ensures temperature-controlled storage and processing of imported fruit, while our subsidiary Ulrich Stein is responsible for timely delivery. We are also involved in Hansaport, Germany's largest terminal for bulk goods. It is the only one in the world to handle the entire process chain – from discharging to storage and delivery – in a fully automated way. 

As Germany's largest seaport and the world's second largest railway port, the Hamburg location offers a strategic access point to the European logistics network with excellent connections to the hinterland.

Our terminals at the seaports of Tallinn, Trieste and Odessa are central hubs in their respective regions. They expand the HHLA network and help to make the transport of goods in Europe efficient and sustainable.

Our multi-purpose terminal HHLA TK Estonia in Muuga serves as a logistics hub in the Baltic region and plays a key role in transit traffic. As the country's market leader in container handling, HHLA TK Estonia not only takes care of containers, but also breakbulk and bulk cargo, as well as ro-ro cargo. The terminal is connected to the European rail network, which is being rapidly expanded in the direction of the Baltic. This provides fast and efficient hinterland connections to important economic regions.

In Odessa on the Black Sea, our Container Terminal Odessa provides access to the markets of Eastern Europe and Central Asia. In addition to the handling of containers, bulk goods, general cargo and project cargo are also handled here. 

With our seaport terminals, we create the basis for efficient and resilient supply chains in Europe. Modern technology, automation and our highly qualified employees ensure seamless processing.

Our seaport terminals are a central component of the international movement of goods. In addition to this, our intermodal network enables the efficient connection of inland regions to global trade flows.

Our rail subsidiary Metrans plays a central role in this. With 20 intermodal terminals and 650 weekly connections, it links ports and economic centres across large parts of Europe. Strategically located hub terminals consolidate the freight flows and ensure smooth onward transport.

• Prague (Czech Republic): The terminal in Prague is one of the most important hubs in the Metrans network. Equipped with the latest technology, it ensures fast handling and seamless distribution of freight to neighbouring markets.
• Budapest (Hungary): As a hub between Western and Eastern Europe, this location ensures the smooth handling of large volumes of freight and connects important trade routes.
• Dunajská Streda (Slovakia): The Slovakian terminal offers a central connection to ports and economic centres in Europe and is a hub for the Eastern European logistics network.
• Česká Třebová (Czech Republic): Strategically located inland, this terminal facilitates the seamless distribution of goods in Central Europe.

Our Metrans intermodal network offers numerous advantages, including:

In addition to Metrans, we rely on many further HHLA subsidiaries that are greatly expanding our logistics network with intermodal transport services. Our HHLA logistics network is a high-performance platform that is tailored to the needs of our clients in a rapidly changing world.

With a balanced mix of modern technology, sustainability solutions and customer-oriented services, we are creating the basis for efficient, resilient and climate-friendly supply chains in Europe and beyond.
