Hamburg’s CTA re-certified for its climate-neutral operations

Hamburger Hafen und Logistik AG (HHLA) Container Terminal Altenwerder (CTA) has been re-certified as a climate neutral company by TÜV NORD.

Ιn 2019, CTA was the first container handling facility in the world to receive climate-neutral certification.

“CTA’s renewed certification once again demonstrates the terminal’s innovative strength,” said Angela Titzrath, chairwoman of HHLA’s Executive Board.

“While we are already celebrating CTA’s 20th anniversary this year, we are very proud that the terminal has been considered a pioneer for innovation and sustainability in the sector since 2002 and is continuously being developed further. We are moving closer to our goal of becoming climate-neutral throughout the Group by 2040,” she noted.

CO2 emissions in the CTA from January 2021 to December 2021 decreased by 26.3% to about 11,000 tonnes, due to the reduction of diesel consumption, as the terminal turned to purely electric automated guided vehicles (AGV).

By 2023, all AGVs are expected to be converted to fast-charge lithium-ion batteries.

At the same time, the 14 container gantry cranes for seaborne handling, the 52 fully electric portal cranes in the container storage blocks and the four rail gantry cranes are also powered by green electricity.

Processes that still lead to CO2 emissions are offset with compensation certificates, according to HHLA’s statement.

The terminal aims to continuously reduce the share of compensation. To achieve this, HHLA focuses on working with its partners to develop technically innovative solutions.
