Anger over MSC bid for HHLA

Italy’s CIPESS has approved € 206.8m for the first phase of Trieste’s Pier VIII container terminal, set to start operations by 2027.

The HHLA Container Terminal Altenwerder is facing congestion due to ship delays, crane replacement work, weather challenges, and export container volumes.

HHLA and the Fraunhofer Centre are looking for partners to commercialise a pin-setting robot for rail operations.

The Port of Aarhus is confident that its lease agreement with MSC’s Terminal Investment Limited will proceed as planned, despite ongoing legal action from APM Terminals.

HHLA has revised its 2024 forecast upward, citing strong transport volumes and earnings despite global challenges affecting shipping routes.

APM Terminals has turned to the court for clarity on the Port of Aarhus’s lease award to MSC, claiming the process was faulty and not transparent.
