At the trade fair, which is being held on 10-12 April, HHM will be represented on the German ports joint stand with Brunsbüttel Ports, Buss Port Logistics, Polzug Intermodal, Swan Container Line and TCI International Logistics.

Among the many goods exchanged as imports and exports between Hamburg and Brazil are fresh fruits and vegetables.
