The Port of Hamburg has said that it is 'looking to the future with optimism' as seaborne cargo throughout grew year-on-year to 32.8m tonnes in the opening quarter of 2013.
According to the port's marketing authority, growth was driven by a rise in dry bulk volumes, up 6.3 per cent to 10.1m tonnes.
At 2.2m TEUs, the container handling segment reached almost the same levels as those seen in the same period last year.
'In combination with this positive trend in feeder traffic, during the rest of the year we anticipate slight growth for container liner services as well,' said Claudia Roller, CEO of Port of Hamburg Marketing.
