What is the regional and overall economic importance of the Port of Hamburg (reporting year 2019)? This was investigated by ISL together with ETR: Economic Trends Research, the Fraunhofer Center for Maritime Logistics and Services CML and Ramboll on behalf of the Hamburg Port Authority (HPA).
The researchers prove that the Port of Hamburg contributes to the economic strength of the metropolitan region and beyond in a variety of ways. The various sectors of the port economy, such as terminal operations and associated service providers, provide thousands of jobs. In addition, they secure the supply of raw materials to companies and their sales of goods overseas and in European short-sea markets.
Sönke Maatsch, ISL: “Not only companies in the metropolitan area benefit from this, but also shippers in the hinterland. The present study is the first to fully include these nationwide effects of the port of Hamburg.”
Quantifying the direct economic effects in port and terminal operations, along the transport chain and in port-related industries is the focus of the current study, along with the indirect effects along the value chain. The supply of specific goods to the German market is not considered in this study.
