Port of Hamburg

The Port of Hamburg, as one of India's most important commercial partners in seaborne foreign trade, has officially opened a new Joint Representative Office in Mumbai in a bid to strengthen economic, cultural and academic links between the two countries.

Supported by Port of Hamburg Marketing, the Hamburg Senate and the Hamburg Chamber of Commerce and already functioning since the beginning of this year, the Representative Office is regarded as the contact point for representatives of the worlds of politics, commerce and culture from Hamburg and India.

In addition to the official launch of the office, Hamburg has also announced the inauguration of new, direct liner services between Hamburg and India.

Along with the eastbound service to India, the Rickmers Line now once again offers a direct service from India to Europe. Together with Mumbai and Chennai, Hamburg is one of the main ports in the rotation.

Hapag Lloyd and Hamburg Süd shipping lines have also further upgraded their joint service between Hamburg and India by deploying larger vessels.
