Hamburg cargo volumes rise
The port of Hamburg handled 121 million tons of seaborne cargo in 2010, about 10 percent more than the prior year.
Container volumes rose 12.7 percent to 7.9 million TEUs.
The volumes, while good, were not as high as the 140.4 million tons and 9.7 million TEU reached in 2008.
“Available national economic data cause us to reckon on being able to resume the record figures of 2008 again during the first half of 2012,' said Claudia Roller, chief executive officer of Hafen Port of Hamburg marketing.
