To start with the most important fact: Our visit
of the Modern Terminals was very interesting!! When we arrived two people from Hapag
Lloyd and three from Modern Terminals were already waiting for us. We even found out that one of the Hapag
employees regularly works in Hamburg for a few weeks per year.
First we saw a corporate video, which explained the work of Modern
Terminals and how they work together with Hapag Lloyd. In the second part we looked at a
map of Hong Kong and discussed advantages and disadvantages of the Hong Kong
port. It turned out that Hong Kongs port is facing high competition from
mainland China´s ports like Shenzhen and even Nansha port. Due to the fact that
Hong Kong can present geographical advantages the port will most likely always
remain a big and important transit port. At the end of the visit we were able to
enjoy the outlook from the tower bridge of the terminals. From this huge open-plan office we had
an amazing view over the entire harbour with its containers, ships and trucks.
Have a look
by yourself and compare it to the harbours you know. We as a group where
stunned by the size.
