For 2013, the container terminal operator saw container throughout rise by 4.4% to 7.5 million teu as its North Range market share increased to 20.4%. Container transport by rail also rose, while group revenue went up to \u20ac1.155bn \u2013 a result of being \u201cwell prepared for the challenges of a difficult market environment\u201d.<\/p>\n
HHLA says current 2014 forecasts concerning economic growth, container throughput and container transport suggest a \u201crestrained\u201d general trend for volumes. Despite this, the company expects a slight rise in revenue and the operating result to be in the range of \u20ac138m to \u20ac158m (2013 operating result was \u20ac158m).<\/p>\n
\u201cThe market environment remains difficult \u2013 not least due to current infrastructure deficits relating to the Port of Hamburg\u2019s seaward accessibility,\u201d said Klaus-Dieter Peters, chairman, HHLA\u2019s Executive Board.<\/p>\n
\u201cFurthermore, consolidation processes in the liner shipping industry will lead to increasingly volatile volumes. The situation is made more complicated by the uncertainty surrounding events in Ukraine and potential negative impacts on trade with Russia,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
HHLA says it intends to strengthen its position in the handling of mega-ships and expects container handling volumes to marginally increase.<\/p>\n
It operates three container terminals in Hamburg (Altenwerder, Burchardkai, and Tollerort) and one in Odessa through its subsidiary HPC Ukraina.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
