In the first half of 2011, container traffic between Hamburg and Poland surged by 38 per cent, to 114,000 TEUs. In this context, imports and exports from/to Poland are very well balanced at 56,000 TEUs and 58,000 TEUs, respectively.
With a volume of 2.6 million tonnes of seaborne cargo in the year 2010, Hamburg is one of the most significant North Range ports for Poland.
As the easternmost port of the North Range, Hamburg offers ideal connections via Kiel Canal into the Baltic Sea and, with more than 150 weekly feeder departures, 15 to 20 to Poland, the port has the densest feeder network in the region.
The shipping company Green Feeder is scheduled to launch a new link between Hamburg, Finland and Poland starting in September calling at the ports of Gdynia and Gdansk in Poland and in Finland, Helsinki and Kotka.
Other feeder services providers are CMA CGM, APL, OOCL, Unifeeder, Team Lines and Delta Shipping.
