  • Overall container throughput declined by 18.6%
    • Hamburg volumes down 15.9 %; mainly due to volume decrease in the Far East shipping region (esp. China)
    • Feeder ratio declined moderately to 18.1 % (previous year: 21.2 %) due to lower transhipment volumes from / to Russia, Poland and Sweden
    • Internationals down 53.9 % due to closure of Container terminal in Odessa (Ukraine)
  • While total revenue declined due to lower volumes and reduced average storage fees, average revenue per TEU remained stable
  • OpEx decrease of 4.8 % mainly attributable to
    • lower personnel expenses due to drop in volumes and closure of CTO
    • reversal of provisions for ship delays
    • disproportionately lower reduction of energy expenses compared to volume development as well as increased operational costs for PLT Italy had an opposing effect
