Hanseatic Global Terminals, Hapag-Lloyd's terminal arm, has signed a term sheet to acquire a 20% stake in the Eurogate Container Terminal Hamburg, one of Germany's largest box facilities, leaving two rival carriers each holding a fifth.

WorldCargo News reports that German ports — historically lagging on automation versus Rotterdam and Antwerp — are pinning their competitive recovery on automated handling and terminal-wide digital integration. Eurogate and HHLA territory is implied.

APM Terminals CEO Vincent Clerc confirmed plans to implement automation at NTB Bremerhaven to lower the terminal’s breakeven, as part of the €1bn NTB/Eurogate modernisation targeting a capacity increase from 3 to 4M TEU annually. New cranes and yard equipment form the core of the equipment replacement programme, targeting zero-GHG operations.
Why it matters for P&M: APM Terminals is a key incumbent customer and Bremerhaven is Europe’s largest container port. The €1bn equipment modernisation puts substantial crane electrification scope on the table in the medium term — worth engaging on the equipment specification now, ahead of formal tendering.
