Rapid expansion

Article Abstract:

Hamburg remains Germany's top harbor in container turnover with 61.8% of the market, thanks to moving 12.8% more units and 14.2% more weight in 1994 than the year before. Most of that increase is attributed to trade with E Asia. North Sea ports now have a new shipping configuration, with Nippon Yusen Kaisha, Neptune Orient Lines, and HapagLoyd combined in a new alliance vs CGM, OOCL, Mitsui OSK, Nedlloys, MISC, and President Lines. A new container train between Hamburg and Bermerhaven-Bremen opens new possibilities.

Harbouring doubts

Article Abstract:

Hong Kong's popularity as an industrial port is likely to diminish if its charges are not reduced when it is handed over to China. Preliminary talks between China and Taiwan have centered around creating a direct shipping route between Kaohsiung in Taiwan and Xiamen and Fuzhou in China. Hong Kong importance as a port will fade if its high costs are not reduced to reflect changing market conditions.
