The readers of the trade magazine Asia Cargo News are convinced of the Port of Hamburg. It has once again received an Asian Freight, Logistics and Supply Chain Award (AFLAS) for “Best Seaport – Europe”. This marks the third consecutive time and the fifth time overall.

After four awards for “Best Seaport – Europe” in 2015, 2016, 2020, and 2021, as well as the award for “Best Global Seaport” in 2018 and 2019, this is now the seventh honor for the Port of Hamburg. Anne Thiesen, representative of Port of Hamburg Marketing, accepted the award at the official ceremony in Hong Kong. “We are very honored to be named the best seaport in Europe for the third consecutive time, which shows that the Port of Hamburg continues to enjoy a high reputation in Asia,” says Thiesen.
Axel Mattern, board member at Port of Hamburg Marketing, is also pleased with the award. “Being chosen as the best seaport in Europe in these challenging times is a great honor. It shows that the Port of Hamburg continues to successfully assert itself in the international competition as a universal port. This also motivates our port economy companies to become even better,” he emphasizes.
