Container Terminal Tollerort Hamburg Germany

From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia

The container terminal CTT was opened in 1977 as the second container terminal after the container terminal Burchardkai, which had been growing since 1968, in the former port of Neuhof. The Port of Hamburg and Logistics (HHLA) took over the operation of the CTT in 1996. For expansion, the volcano port was filled between 1999 and 2003, so that the new terminal is now partly over the buried bunkers of the Second World War. As a result, two more berths could be set up for more in-depth ships. In 2008, a new freight yard was opened, which quintupled the capacity of the terminal.

Eröffnet wurde der Containerterminal CTT 1977 als zweites Containerterminal nach dem seit 1968 gewachsenen Containerterminal Burchardkai im damaligen Hafen Neuhof. Die Hamburger Hafen und Logistik (HHLA) übernahm den Betrieb des CTT im Jahr 1996. Zur Erweiterung wurde zwischen 1999 und 2003 der Vulkanhafen zugeschüttet, so dass der neue Terminal heute teilweise über den verschütteten U-Boot-Bunkern des Zweiten Weltkriegs steht. In der Folge konnten zwei weitere Liegeplätze für tiefergehende Schiffe eingerichtet werden. 2008 wurde ein neuer Güterbahnhof eröffnet, der die Kapazität des Terminals verfünffachte.

Here's another shot from an impromptu mini-series of high contrast experiments. I am not quite sure why I photographed this at all. After all, tanks and containers are not particularly attractive subjects. For whatever reason, these ones spoke to me. Well, not literally... You know what I mean. 😉

There's more on www.chm-photography.com.

Enjoy!

A tour in the port of Antwerp lead me to photograph a few container trains towards the Krommenhoek and Kalishoek yards. A very interesting one was this one from Railtraxx, with containers from - I presume - Athus and with destination Kalishoek. Railtraxx was renting "goldie" 266 117 at the time, which I was happy to catch when it was rounding one of the final turns before arriving at its destination.

More containers to be seen in this new post on railscapes.blog.
