Port of Hamburg Marketing at Intermodal South America in São Paulo
2012 03 27
- Details
This year Port of Hamburg Marketing (HHM) will be showcasing Hamburg‘s potential to around 45,000 trade visitors from industry, commerce and the logistics sector in South America by participating again in Intermodal South America in São Paulo. The fair is being held from 10th to 12th April 2012.
HHM will be represented on the German Ports joint stand at the logistics and transport fair together with Brunsbüttel Ports, Buss Port Logistics, Polzug Intermodal, Swan Container Line and TCI International Logistics.
In 2011 Brazil emerged as the Port of Hamburg’s fourth most important trading partner. A total of 302,000 TEU (20-ft standard containers) were transported with Brazil in 2011, representing an increase of 16.6 percent. The outward total to Brazil reached 231,000 TEU. This brought the country on the East coast of South America into the Top Ten among Hamburg’s trading partners in the container traffic that is so crucial for the port. Not surprisingly, therefore, last year also saw the inauguration of a new liner service between Brazil and Hamburg – a joint service run by shipping companies Hanjin from Korea, UASC (United Arab Shipping Company), COSCO (China Ocean Shipping Company) and CCNI (Compania Chilena de Navegacion Interoceanica).
Among the main goods exchanged as imports and exports between Hamburg and Brazil are machinery and machine tools as well as the corresponding spare parts. Hamburg continues to import vast quantities of meat and fish products from Brazil, along with fruit and vegetables among other cargoes. The main exports from Hamburg to Brazil are automotive parts and basic chemicals.
Apart from showcasing some 450 exhibitors, on two days Intermodal South America offers conferences on “Ports & Intermodal Infra 2012” and “Air Cargo 2012”, which will also feature workshops, presentations and panel discussions. Further details of the fair and the exhibitors will be found in English under www.intermodal.com.br/en/index.php .
