The divisions of the Hamburg Port Authority responsible for strategy and planning draft their development plans for the port of Hamburg taking into account the interests of the port industry, business, trade and neighbouring residents.

The aim is to realise re-structuring and development projects, traffic route and berth extensions as well as in-time development, preparation and occupation of port extension areas in line with market demands.

Besides providing infrastructure facilities, the HPA secures, develops and enhances the strategic competitive position of the port on the basis of market and competitor analyses by offering attractive customer services, by establishing long-term customer relations, by imposing adequate usage fees and by representing Hamburg’s interests in dealings with the EU, among others.
