The Hamburg Port Authority (HPA) was established in October 2005 in the course of the merging of the port-related competencies of various Hamburg authorities. Built on the “one face to the customer” principle the HPA is the central contact partner for all inquiries arising with regard to infrastructure, navigational and operational safety and port security, property management and economic conditions in the port.

The further development of the ports infrastructure and the activities and duties of the HPA are mainly based on the Port Development Plan [Link “Focus of dynamic growth markets”] (PDF format) that is published by the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg.
