The Port of Hamburg has launched a Chinese-language version of its website.

“China is by a wide margin the Port of Hamburg’s most important trading partner,” said Axel Mattern, joint CEO of Port of Hamburg Marketing. “We aim to do justice to this by now offering our internet presence, not just in German and English as the language of shipping, but also in Chinese. On our travels in China we have found that language still frequently forms a barrier to communication. We aim to reduce this and to facilitate immediate access to comprehensive data on the Port of Hamburg for our Chinese partners and customers through our Chinese internet presence. The new language version of the Port of Hamburg website is a logical extension of our already very comprehensive range of information.”

The website provides information such as liner services, agencies and handling facilities, as well as an integrated database on intermodal services, according to the port.
