“As Hanseatic cities, Hamburg and Tallinn share a long history to which HHLA is now adding a new chapter. At the same time, we will continue to enhance the Port of Hamburg by investing in facilities and technology.”

The Port of Muuga is the main port in Estonia and a significant maritime location in the Baltic region.

At present, the container terminal operated by Transiidikeskuse is capable of handling about 300,000 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs), which can be increased to approximately 800,000 TEUs.

The transaction, which has already been approved by HHLA’s supervisory board, is scheduled to be completed during the second quarter of this year, subject to various conditions.
