Hamburger Hafen und Logistik AG (HHLA) has completed the expansion of the rail terminal at its Container Terminal Altenwerder in Germany. The rail terminal now has nine tracks, instead of the previous seven. The expansion will increase the terminal's capacity by 140,000 TEUs to 930,000 TEUs per year. Since 2010, annual container throughput at the rail terminal has risen by almost 20 percent to 769,000 TEUs in 2015, the highest throughput of any container rail terminal in Germany. Rail's share of total container volume has also continued to grow in recent years. The German Federal Ministry of Transport expects that transport services of rail freight traffic will increase by 43 percent by 2030. The total area of the rail terminal has not been affected by the expansion, as the two additional tracks were built on the existing area. This increases the facility's efficient use of space, which was already high.
