THE Port of hamburg has claimed a new record for pre-and-post-voyage railborne container transport in the first nine months of 2021 at 2.1 million TEU, reports London's Port Technology International.
This marks an 8.3 per cent increase compared to the same period in 2020 and strengthens Hamburg's position as Europe's largest rail port.
Overall, the port handled a total of 6.5 million TEU in this period, increasing 2.4 per cent when compared to the first nine months of 2020.
During this period, exports rose 2.9 per cent to 3.2 million TEU. Imports also rose 1.9 per cent to 3.3 million TEU.
'Delayed ship arrivals plus related delivery delays also hit the ports. The problems of supply chains meanwhile out of synch will continue to be apparent at the land/sea transport interface. Despite providing 24/7 service, for the terminals, a fraught situation will persist on vessel clearance,' said Hafen Hamburg Marketing co-CEO Axel Mattern.
Said co-CEO Ingo Egloff: 'Partly since the beginning of the year, large sections of the industry have suffered bottlenecks on deliveries. Despite full order books, this can hamper production.'
The Intermodal Freight Forum Europe delving into the pressing challenges and trends in intermodal freight transport will be held on Februry 8.
The event is set to bring together senior decision-makers from the intermodal transport network, addressing a wide range of issues from data standardisation to the lack of capacity in ports and rail.
