MARITIME FEATURE PORT OF HAMBURG
FROM THE DESK OF CEO Dear Colleagues, The first half of 2018 has been an exceptionally busy and challenging period for PTP. However, despite the robust conditions, PTP continues to progress steadily by delivering positive result and improve on our competitiveness. From January until August, various continuous investment and improvement activities have been successfully executed and are currently taking place to ensure that we are able to achieve our target set forth for this financial year, and more importantly to safeguard PTP’s position amongst the top transhipment hub in the world. Our colleagues, especially from Engineering & Facilities, Operations and Project Integration have been working closely with each other to make sure that our facilities, equipment life-cycle readiness and maintenance strategy are always in check. Our collective effort towards operational improvement and consistency in productivity has yielded several positive results such as when our Operations team successfully logged in the highest PMPH record for mainliner and feeder services respectively. Apart from that, we have also been nominated as one of the finalists to receive Port Infrastructure Development of the year award by Lloyd's List Asia Pacific Awards scheduled to be held in Singapore in the coming September. This year, PTP Management has also taken priority to intensify its stakeholder’s engagement in an effort to serve its customers with the best service and practice. The highlight of these stakeholders’ engagement activities is when the Minister of Transport himself, YB Anthony Loke Siew Fook and his MOT delegates came to visit our terminal. For our employees, engagement activities also include the Town Hall session, Coffee Break sessions with both the white and blue collars staff, Buka Puasa with Management, PTP Hari Raya celebration, Safety Committee Meetings, PTP Family Day and many more. In addition, to supplement the growing demand and requirement of the industry, we are also currently working hard to roll out the Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) System and strengthen our security capability with the implementation of the Access Control & CCTV initiative. As safety is utmost priority in PTP, proactive safety culture and environmental awareness are key elements that need to be continuously emphasized in promoting such culture in PTP as well as in our daily lives. To eliminate risks and further promote safe operations, PTP through its Health, Safety and Environment Department (HSE) was proud to join APM Terminals ports around the world in rolling out its Fatal-5 Standards, which were critical areas identified as the highest risk areas to focus on in order to eliminate fatalities and further promote safe operations, which are underpinned by minimum controls on each of the five critical areas. On a lighter but meaningful note, I recently had the opportunity to be part of 2018 PTP Family Day Celebration organized by both PTP and Kelab Keluarga PTP (KKPTP). This year, I was told that more than 6000 members of PTP community, including staff, family and the surrounding community attended the event to celebrate such joyous event together.
Various unique elements were introduced and infused this time around, particularly with the introduction of two days celebration after the Management has agreed to combine the Gawai Ngiling Bidai, Festival of Kaamatan as well as Hari Raya Celebration. The combination of these 3 big festivals was meant to symbolize the strong sense of togetherness that exists between the PTP communities but also to a larger context, Malaysian society. Apart from all the exciting activities, in our effort to become a responsible and environmental friendly community, the Management and the program’s committee members had also decided to introduce several environment based initiatives to promote on Environmental Awareness Campaign to raise public awareness on the importance of creating a sustainable environment and respecting nature in our everyday lives. On behalf of PTP Senior Management Team, I would like to thank everyone for your support and participation in the event respectively. I truly hope you, family and beloved ones enjoyed the celebration as much as I was. Last but not least, I would like to urge everyone to continue with the good work. No matter what challenges and circumstances come upon us, we must not lose sight of our priority which is to be a strong and financially sustainable that can put the customer at the heart of everything we do. The journey has been challenging but I think we are progressing well in the industry. Personally, I think that PTP today is more stabilize, in a sense we are not routinely facing the issues and problems that we had had before. Significant achievements have been made as a result of our constant effort in strengthening of our customer and stakeholders’ relations, improvement on productivity, and continuous investment in our equipment and facilities. As such, let us remain steadfast and strong-willed in our course of work. Evaluate and execute not only is best for our part of the business, but also the potential impact on other parts and on the Group as a whole.

CORPORATE ASSURANCE
ENTERPRISE RISK MANAGEMENT The Enterprise Risk Management Section (ERMS) of the Corporate Assurance Department is responsible for the management and monitoring of the company-wide risk management practice, business continuity and the corporate integrity programs and initiatives. Apart from the Head of Department, ERMS also reporting to the Risk Management Committee (RMC) headed by the Chief Executive Officer as the Risk Champion as well as to the Group Risk Management Department. Head of ERMS assumes the role of Risk Coordinator responsible for risk reporting, risk monitoring, risk advisory and risk communication for the company and departments in the company. In our fast-paced world, the risks we have to manage to evolve quickly. We need to make sure we manage risks so that we minimise their threats and maximise their potential. Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) involves understanding, analysing and addressing the risk to make sure organisations achieve their objectives. At its essence, risk management is a logical and systematic approach to identifying, assessing, treating, monitoring and communicating risks within any activity, function or processes in the way that will enable an organisation to minimise loses and maximised opportunities. In PTP, risk management is a part of its strategy to promote accountability through good governance and robust business practices, to support its vision, mission and core values. Because risk is inherent in everything we do, the type of roles undertaken by risk practitioners are incredibly diverse. They include roles in insurance, business continuity, health and safety, corporate governance, engineering, planning, financial services and so on. Enterprise Risk Management Process
ERM supports the needs of the Company and MMCB Head Office. The most important element of this structure is the clear definition and communication of the roles, responsibilities and accountabilities for managing risks within the organization. The Risk Management Committee (RMC) is essential to discuss and manage all the risks related to strategy and operations of the company. The RMC will discuss on risks, formulate strategies in managing such risks and submit the updates to the PTP’s Audit Committee (AC), PTP’s Board of Directors (BOD) and Group Risk Management Department MMC Head Office. Relationship Between ERM, BCM and Corporate Integrity ERM and BCM share the common goals of identifying, assessing, and managing interruption risks that could serve to prevent achievement of their strategic objectives, making BCM is one component of an effective enterprise program designed to manage risk. The shorthand difference between the two is that ERM focuses at a high level on the identification, assessment, and prevention of risks. In addition, ERM provides for resilient organizations a chance to see risks as either threats or opportunities. BCM, in contrast, is focused on the tactical needs of an organization to respond to an incident and ensure continuity of business operations, focusing on minimizing downtime, data and system loss, and the resultant threats to an enterprise’s ability to remain in business. On the other hand, corporate integrity as ERM is also one of the good corporate governance pillars. One of the corporate integrity initiatives is the Corruption Risk Management (CRM) which adopt the principles of ERM, thus making corporate integrity complementing the ERM practices.

BUSINESS CONTINUITY MANAGEMENT Business Continuity Management (BCM) is a holistic management process that identifies potential impacts that threaten an organisation and provides a framework for building resilience and the capability for an effective response which safeguards the interests of its key stakeholders, reputation, brand and value creating activities. PTP recognize the importance of BCM as the means to ensure that the business can continue to succeed in a time of crisis and during the recovery process. PTP ultimate goal of business continuity strategy is to build the organisation’s resilience and to ensure the delivery of services even after an external shock has damaged assets and challenged the access to necessary resources. BCM-readiness provides reassurance to internal and external stakeholders that our operations are able to meet the needs of the contingency and you are prepared for the 'worst case scenario' situations. In relation with the ERM, BCM is a subset of broader risk management strategies and processes, focuses on risks that threaten the continuity of critical business activities.

LEGAL & CONTRACT MANAGEMENT
TALK ON COMPETITION LAW On 5 June 2018, PTP’s Legal Department organised a talk for PTP’s Senior Management Team on Competition Law to give an overview on the Malaysian Competition Act 2010 that has come into force since 1 January 2012. The Act seeks to promote and protect the process of competition by changing the behaviour of businesses. It is applicable to all commercial activities undertaken within and outside Malaysia that affect the competition in the domestic market. The implementation of the Act brings Malaysia in line with over 100 jurisdictions worldwide, including its ASEAN neighbours Indonesia, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam. The talk by Mr. Nadarashnaraj Sargunaraj & Ms. Sharon Tan Suyin, Partners from Messrs. Zaid Ibrahim & Co. covered the salient features of the Act including the powers of Malaysian Competition Commission (MyCC), definition of market share, prohibitions on anti-competitive agreements between enterprises and abuse by dominant players, and penalty in the case of infringement. The MyCC is given considerable powers of investigation and enforcement of the Act – it may enter and search premises (commonly referred to as “dawn-raids”) and require the production of all documents and information including computerised data. Such dawn-raids may even be conducted without warrant where the MyCC’s officer believes that the delay in obtaining a warrant would jeopardise the investigation. Agreements between enterprises are prohibited if they have the object or effect of significantly preventing, restricting or distorting competition in any market. This includes information sharing between competitors which may result in some form of price coordination. Businesses in a dominant position can no longer engage in predatory behaviour, control or limit production, supply or market access in order to damage or force its competitors out of the market.
The Act affects businesses extraterritorially. Commercial activities transacted outside Malaysia will be caught by the Act if they have an effect on competition in Malaysia The Act considers a parent company and its subsidiaries as a single enterprise where, despite their separate legal entity, they form a single economic unit within which subsidiaries do not enjoy real autonomy in determining their actions on the market. Non-compliance with the Competition Act 2010 will affect not only enterprises but their directors, management and employees too. It can result in possible criminal prosecution, government investigation, heavy fines of up to 10% of their worldwide turnover, imprisonment and civil liability. The talk ended with an interactive discussion session on some recent cases by MyCC and the potential issues on Competition Law for the port industry. This informative talk will hopefully give the attendees a better understanding of the Competition Act 2010 in order to assist PTP in changing our processes, procedures and behaviour to ensure compliance with the Act and to prove that we have taken all reasonable precautions and exercised due diligence to prevent the commission of any offence under the Act.
The implementation of the Act brings Malaysia in line with over 100 jurisdictions worldwide, including its ASEAN neighbours Indonesia, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam.

BEAT PLASTIC POLLUTION
PLASTIC DOES NOT GO AWAY
HSSE
Malaysians generate about 30,000 metric tonnes of rubbish each day. Plastic makes up about 13% of our solid waste stream, which means about 4000 metric tonnes of plastic waste are generated in Malaysia each day. Plastic doesn’t decompose. It just gets smaller. Over a time a single plastic bottle can break up into over 10,000 pieces of microplastic. Microplastics act as a toxic sponge.

Definition of Hazard Source or a situation with a potential for harm in terms of human injury or ill health, damage to property, damage to the environment or a combination of these Hierarchy of Controls The hierarchy of controls lists the risk reduction approaches in order of the risk reduction effectiveness. Consideration of the hierarchy of controls assists the effective controls for a priority unwanted event, recognizing the ‘behavior’ and ‘PPE’ are the least effective approaches.
•
Eliminate: the complete elimination of the hazard by design
•
Substitute: replacing the hazard, material or process with a less hazardous one, or significantly reducing the magnitude of the hazard or material so consequences are greatly reduced.
•
Engineer: design in controls or redesign the equipment or work process. Placing a physical barrier on the hazard by guarding or enclosing it.
•
Administrate: providing control such as training and procedures.
•
Behavior: Engagement of personnel to promote wanted and correct unwanted behaviors.
•

PROJECT INTEGRATION
PROJECT INTEGRATION 2017 was a very busy and challenging year for Project Integration Division. A series of equipment refurbishment, terminal upgrading and acquisition projects such as installing and moving cranes, strengthening the berth and acquisition of the 8 EEE Quay Cranes have been successfully executed to improve our operational capability. In 2018, the team continues to execute the channel dredging works that was kicked off last year. The works, which will increase the current draft from 16 meters to 18.5 meters, are expected to be completed in Q3 to accommodate the EEE Vessel and other new generation of mega vessel that will berth at PTP. Simultaneously, the team is proactively preparing for other range of projects, including a series of equipment refurbishment program that includes the refurbishment of the 35 older IMPSA RTG's, 5 Noell and 5 ZPMC A cranes as well as the future development of free zone areas On the other hand, with equipment refurbishment program, a mid-cycle equipment performance review and inspection plan programme will come into practice where all of our equipment will be periodically inspected and assessed to ensure equipment life-cycle readiness and future maintenance strategy are always in check.
PTP becomes the first port in Southeast Asia to welcome the region’s tallest ship-to-shore quay cranes at its port
Apart from the current projects, Project Integration team is also looking at PTP's long term future work. The team is now in the midst of evaluating several future improvement projects as well as at expansion plans. Today, PTP’s commitment and dedication towards this improvement effort is starting to be acknowledged by the industry when we have been shortlisted as one of the finalists by Lloyds List Asia for the Best Port Infrastructure Development 2017 Category. By investing in equipment and facilities, as well as channel dredging, PTP is further establishing itself as one of the best equipped and most technologically advanced terminal port in the region. This continuous investment is therefore critical to ensure PTP progresses well with the rapid changes within the port and shipping industry and subsequently meet the growing customer demand.
The channel dredging works, which will increase the current draft from 16 meters to 18.5 meters are expected to be completed in Q3 to accommodate the EEE Vessel and other new generation of mega vessel that will berth at PTP
Moving forward, the team remains committed to one journey which goes for all, and that is safety. For Project Integration, the Fatal 5 area regarding “Control of Contractors” is crucial. Our team is currently working with all stakeholders, including our counterparts from all divisions as well as PTP contractors to design improvement initiatives and policies related to contractors’ management in order to reduce risk and eliminate fatalities while working.

CYBERSECURITY AWARENESS 16th July 2018, In an effort to reinforce the level of awareness amongst PTP staff towards Cyber Security, Information & Technology Division had successfully conducted a one day Cybersecurity Awareness Briefing. To keep the momentum of what you have learnt during the session, we have compiled a list of things you should be thinking about whenever you are using the Internet. You have probably heard many or all of these tips before, but repetition does not spoil the prayer. If you take security seriously, you are already using tools such as updated anti-virus or built-in firewall of your operating system to protect your computer from malware, ransomware, and other advanced threats.
How to protect your self from cyber crime 1.
Don’t ever say “It won’t happen to me.” because you are always an attractive target to hackers.
2.
Practice good password management. Use a strong mix of characters such as P+PP@$$, and don’t use the same password for multiple sites.
3.
Don’t share your password with others, don’t write it down somewhere that is easily noticeable, and definitely don’t write it on a post-it note attached to your monitor.
4.
Never leave your devices such as mobile, tablet, or laptop unattended. If you need to leave your devices for any length of time, no matter how short, lock your screen with password so no one can use it while you’re not around.
5.
Always beware when clicking on any attachments or links in your email. Do not click on any suspicious link or attachment.
6.
Sensitive browsing, such as online banking or online shopping, should only be performed on a device that belongs to you, on a home or office networks that you trust. Your data could be copied or stolen if you use a friend’s phone, a public computer, or a cafe’s free Wi-Fi.
7.
Always back up your data regularly, and your anti-virus software must always be up to date.
8.
Be cautious of what you plug in to your computer. Any type of malicious software such as malware or ransomware can be spread through infected flash drives, or external hard drives, and even smartphones.
9.
Watch what you’re sharing on social media networks. Criminals will try to befriend you in order to easily gain access to your information.
10.
If someone unknown calls or emails you asking for sensitive information such as bank account number, you should always say no. You can call the company directly to verify credentials before giving out any information.
11.
Monitor your bank accounts, email accounts, social media accounts for any suspicious activity. If you see something unfamiliar, it could be a sign that your accounts have been compromised.

HEAD OF FREE ZONE DEVELOPMENT
V.SATHYA Can you please tell us a little bit about yourself?
My name is V. Sathya and I was originally born in Kuala Lumpur and later at 11 years of age moved to Teluk Intan, Perak with my parents and siblings. I am currently the Head of Department for Free Zone Development, under Commercial Division. I am happily married to my wife, Krishna and together, we have a lovely daughter named Haimi. Education wise after finishing my secondary education at Sekolah Menengah Sains Bukit Mertajam, Pulau Pinang, I had enrolled in a pre-medical course in India. I finished my course in 1997 and was on the verge of obtaining scholarship from Malaysian Public Service Department to study medicine there. However, the 1997 economic crisis that hit Asian economies including Malaysia has caused the Malaysian government to halt award of the scholarships to many Malaysian students studying abroad as part of the austerity drive. Hence, like many any other students studying abroad during that period, I had to come back to Malaysia.
demanding clients, became highly independent as well as a team player. The Singapore experience has vastly expanded my commercial flair and exposures. I decided to return to Malaysia in 2011 seeking fresher challenges and at the same time a more balanced work and family life. I looked at few companies and of course PTP was my immediate choice due to its global corporate exposure. I took up employment with PTP and started as Senior Executive in Jan 2011. Outside of work, I spend most of my time with my wife and our lovely new-born daughter and also with my parents and siblings. I also like to read all kind of materials that interests me and watch television. Apart from that, I do try to keep myself healthy by going for a jog at least three times a week.
It was a difficult period for many of the returning students as we could not readily be placed in local universities due to insufficient seats and we were at crossroads. 9 months later, I came across an advertisement in the newspaper for Diploma sponsorship programme to study Marine Engineering in Singapore Polytechnic. Swiftly I applied and successfully obtained the sponsorship. Upon graduation, I started my career as Junior Commercial Executive in a Singapore Government linked company named Singapore Technologies Marine which is involved in shipbuilding and repair business. After a two year stint with them, I was offered to continue my Degree in Materials Engineering in Nanyang Technological University, Singapore which of course I accepted. After completion of the Degree programme, I came back to serve Singapore Technologies Marine, this time its subsidiary which focuses on Environmental Technology business. Here I had assumed the role as a Commercial Engineer. My five years with Singapore Technologies group have exposed me to a highly globalised, competitive and charged work environment. During this time I have developed extensively my negotiation and presentation skills, learned to handle

UP - CLOSE & PERSONAL
What do you enjoy most about your work? What I enjoy most about my work is the nature of the work itself. It encompasses the challenges that come with it, the people that I deal with and of course the end results that keep me motivated. What is your leadership style? I believe in empowerment of people. As a Head of department, I like to empower my team members so that they become independent, more accountable and take greater ownership and pride of their work. In this way, they possess more freedom and flexibility when discharging their duties Apart from that, I infuse transparency and openness in our communications so that we are coordinated as a team and develop high levels of trust. What are the things that your colleague might not know about you? Most probably my age because for some reasons unknown to me, I always get asked by people, especially my colleagues and customers about my age. Well, I will keep them guessing. What is your life motto? I believe in simplicity and moderation. When both combined, we could approach people easily and vice versa. In work, complex matters when simplified become more comprehensible to people and easier to follow. It stimulates people to work more objectively because they understand what needs to be done and how. Whereas moderation averts hostility among team members and promotes win-win situations most of the time. What would you like to see in the future at PTP? I hope PTP can continue growing like it does today with increased vigour and dynamicity under the able leadership of current management. We have witnessed and continuing to witness structural changes to the administration style over the last two years and which I strongly think will be beneficial to aspiring employees who wish to grow in terms of career together with the company. I wish to see the positive spill overs reaching the local community whereby more and more of them have the opportunity to grow with PTP like some of them do today. This can be in terms of employment opportunities as staff and also as contractors. This type of symbiosis between locals and PTP will spur local economy thus creating prosperous society and townships. It only means a better place for all our children to grow up.

QUAY CRANE OPERATOR
AZMAN NASRAN Tell us a little bit about yourself My name is Azman Nasran and I am currently 42 years of age. I am married to Mazlina Binti Md Zain, a nurse at Gynecology and Obstetrics Specialist Center Khor & Loh, Johor Bahru and a father of two children. My eldest daughter is now 14 years old, Alia Natrah and my second child, Alia Najiha is now 1 year of age. I am originally born and raised in Kampung Pasir, Tampoi but now living in Taman Nusa Indah. I joined PTP on 15 February 2000 as a QCC On Board. Since PTP was only commencing its operations at that time, there were still not many staff and because of that I was given the opportunity to do various job roles in PTP operations such as prime mover driver, RTG operator and Yard Chief Clerk. I am now a crane operator. Before joining PTP, I was studying at Institut Kemahiran Mara, Sungai Petani, Kedah. I was supposed to continue my studies in Diploma but had to stop because of the financial crisis that happened in 1997 – 1998. So, during my studies break, I decided to work so I can save money to help me with my tuition fee. I worked at a factory near my house until I completed my studies. Once I graduated, my sister, who was already working in PTP at that time told me that PTP was looking for many operations staff and since I was already looking forward to work, I decided to try my luck and went for the interview and got accepted. Interestingly, when I was about to report duty in PTP, I had also received an offer to become a custom officer. So after I talked to my parents and consult them accordingly, they advised me to take the offer from PTP instead. What do you enjoy most about your work? I think first and foremost, you need to have an interest towards your job. Without interest, it would be very difficult for you to do your job and be consistent with it. One of the most enjoyable aspects of my work is the freedom that I have in doing my job. In PTP, the Management, or in my case, my supervisor or my boss always empowered me to do my role as a crane operator. They trust you with your job and in return all you need to do is to be discipline and trustworthy. What are the things that your colleagues do not know about you? Having been in PTP for almost 18 years, I think there are nothing that can surprise my friends and colleagues about me. However, for those who do not really know me very well, I may come across as someone who is unfriendly, arrogant or hot tempered person. The truth is, I am very friendly, cool headed and likes to play prank with my friends. Maybe the misconception happens because of my relaxed and calm appearance and demeanor. Outside of work, I also like to do gardening. I like to plant flowers and spend times taking care of my garden as it always brings the sense of tranquility to me. What is your biggest achievement in PTP? In my years of service in PTP, I am fortunate enough to win several recognitions. The most recent when I was awarded with Best Quay Crane Operator award for three consecutive months including during the Operations Staff Recognition Ceremony held in conjunction with PTP Family Day 2018. What is your motto? I always believe that successful people are those who are brave and always ready to take control of their action. To be successful, one cannot be a shy person or afraid to ask question. If you don’t know a thing, find someone who can give the answer and use the knowledge for the betterment of not only yourself but also your community. Also, as a Muslim, I believe that we need to be grateful to what we have and ready to share with others, especially those who are in need of assistance, especially your parents. Be patience in the face of challenges. When I first came to PTP, my salary was really small and I had to endure many hardships. But my parents told me to be patient and be grateful of what I get. The truth is we are lucky to work in PTP as it is a very stable company, especially in terms of financial and the facilities we have here are very good. if you are patient and brave enough to face all the challenges, things will always get better. What would you like to see in the future at PTP? I hope the Management Team can continue with the proactive approach that they have taken especially in resolving several issues related to the equipment and staff facilities. I have seen various improvement initiatives happening around me and I laud the Management for that. I personally like the fact that it is now easier to communicate within the Operations team. We have a group WhatsApp and everybody, including the COO, Managers, Supervisors and operators are very responsive towards any matters related with our daily job or needs. Having said that, I wish the Management Team can continue listening to our voice and keep such interest close at their heart and effort.

MARITIME FEATURE
The Port of Hamburg is located between the North Sea and the Baltic Sea. The Port is Germany's largest port and is also known as the country's "Gateway to the World". In terms of TEU throughput, Port of Hamburg is the second-busiest port in Europe (after Rotterdam) and is 15th-largest worldwide. The harbour covers an area of 73.99 km² (64.80 km² usable), of which 43.31 km² (34.12 km²) are land areas. The Port of Hamburg’s geographical location and very good performance make it Germany’s leading foreign trade hub. Operated under the management of Hamburg Port Authority (HPA), the major terminal operator is the HHLA group which has three terminals under its line of operations out of the four terminals: •
The Buchardkai terminal for container is the biggest of the three terminals operated by the HHLA Group. In totality, it has a nine berth berthing capacity is spread over an area extending to over a million square metres.
•
The Altenwerder terminal for container has a four berth container berthing capacity and is spread over an area of one million square metres.
•
Tollerort terminal is the smallest container terminal operated by the HHLA conglomerate with an area of 6, 00,000 square metres, having a four berth container berthing capacity.
•
The fourth terminal in the port of Hamburg is the Eurogate terminal. Having an area of over a million square metres, the terminal has a six berth container berthing capacity and forms a part of the operations of the conglomerate Eurogate.
Apart from these terminals for container vessels, the port of Hamburg has an addition of couple of cruise ship terminals – HafenCity and Altona. The port also caters to bulk cargo and dry cargo ships and its terminal statistics for these ships in transit is placed at 42. The port has a very good demarcating system for dry cargo vessels and bulk cargo vessels which adds to the systematic operations of the Hamburg port. The Hamburg port is a vital cog in the shipping operations of Germany. Placed very conveniently in terms of geography, the Port of Hamburg forms a major link between the Eastern and Central parts of the Continent and accounts for 25% of the interior shipping activities of the country. As the country’s largest universal port, Hamburg is of vital importance for supplies to European domestic markets with a consumer population of up to 450 million. The cutting-edge technology of its cargo handling facilities and data communications systems, its efficient transport infrastructure and its excellent feeder and hinterland links create the essential conditions for exchanging goods with worldwide trading partners. The port also discharges a crucial function in supply and waste disposal logistics for industry in Hamburg and the Metropolitan Region. Hamburg’s facilities can clear ships of all types and handle goods of almost all categories. Besides the container terminals, there are multi-purpose terminals for loading heavy cargoes, conventional general cargoes and project shipments, while others handle grab, suction and liquid cargoes. The universal port annually generates added value totalling around 20 billion euros throughout the country. More than 260,000 jobs in Germany are related to the Port of Hamburg.
