Abstract
Due to the political geography of the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg, the physical limits of the area covered
by the Port of Hamburg present special challenges. On the one hand, handling capacities will have to be increased
substantially on an area that is virtually impossible to enlarge. On the other hand, for the future the port needs to
develop in terms of quality from being merely a handling base to a hub for innovative industrial and service companies
and for universities and non‐academic research facilities. An important task for Hamburg as a commercial base will also
be to develop new, data‐driven business models.
By launching the smartPORT initiative, Hamburg Port Authority (HPA) is creating the conditions for boosting the
efficiency of the port from an economic and ecological perspective by providing intelligent, digital solutions for the
flow of traffic and goods.
In the future, the Port Traffic Center will integrate the traffic information from all water‑, rail‐ and
road‐bound carriers and control all forms of transportation in order to guarantee optimum traffic flows in the
port.
Regarding the infrastructure, digital, sensor‐based solutions will make maintenance on and management of port
railway facilities, bridges and locks, more efficient and cost‐effective.
The following chapter outlines the status quo of traffic‐ and infrastructure‐management at the Port of Hamburg and
gives an insight into the HPA’s strategic planning.
