Known as Germany´s "Gateway to the World" (Tor zur Welt), it is the country´s largest seaport by volume. In terms of TEU throughput, Hamburg is the third-busiest port in Europe (after Rotterdam and Antwerp) and 15th-largest worldwide. In 2014, 9.73 million TEUs (20-foot standard container equivalents) were handled in Hamburg.
The port covers an area of 73.99 square kilometres (28.57 sq mi) (64.80 km² usable), of which 43.31 km² (34.12 km²) are land areas. The branching Elbe creates an ideal place for a port complex with warehousing and transshipment facilities. The extensive free port was established when Hamburg joined the German Customs Union. It enabled duty-free storing of imported goods and also importing of materials which were processed, re-packaged, used in manufacturing and then re-exported without incurring customs duties. The free port was abandoned in 2013." - (en.wikipedia.org 05.07.2021)
