About the HPA

We are the Hamburg Port Authority, and we are committed to advancing the Port of Hamburg with conviction and passion, around the clock. We make the port work – that means we are responsible for ensuring that the infrastructure of the Port of Hamburg runs smoothly. As an employer, we encourage our employees to think and act in an innovative and forward-looking manner. We even guarantee that every employee will help drive forward the port and thus the progress of the city of Hamburg. Teamwork is the key to our success.

What has motivated us for over 20 years

We don't just do anything. We plan, construct, and maintain buildings, roads, bridges, locks, rails, flood barriers, and quay walls to ensure the smooth running of port operations. But that's not all: we monitor and control shipping traffic using state-of-the-art technology and develop innovative ideas to make the port more environmentally friendly.

In this way, we make Hamburg a little greener and better every day – this and much more has been our driving force for over 20 years.
