Dredging of the Lower and Outer Stretches of the River Elbe
HHLA Chairwoman Angela Titzrath: Dredging Must Take Place
Angela Titzrath, Chairwoman of Hamburger Hafen und Logistik AG (HHLA),
comments on the Federal Administrative Court's ruling regarding the
dredging of the lower and outer stretches of the river Elbe:
"Following the lengthy proceedings and in light of the stark competition
between the major European ports, I would have hoped for a ruling that did
not result in a further delay to the dredging of the river Elbe. It is
extremely important that we and our customers are able to plan reliably.
We therefore expect those involved in the proceedings to eliminate the
existing uncertainties as quickly as possible. The dredging of the
navigation channel must take place quickly to ensure that the Port of
Hamburg remains competitive. It is in the interests of the city and its
citizens that all responsible parties now work closely with one another.
HHLA deems a goal-orientated dialogue involving political representatives,
the relevant authorities at the Port, associations and companies to be
beneficial.
I can understand that many people who work in or for the Port are concerned
following this ruling. I would therefore like to emphasise: The Port of
Hamburg does not face an uncertain future. There are many desirable
qualities speaking in its favour, which give us a good chance among our
competitors: its good connection to the hinterland, its state-of-the-art
technical equipment, the high quality of its handling and not least its
committed staff.
The satisfaction of our customers remains the most important factor for
success and, we will continue to do everything in our power to achieve this
end, including after this ruling.
The Port of Hamburg has contributed to the prosperity of the city and its
citizens for centuries, and I am convinced that it will continue to do so
in the future."
