Close coordination with the management of the HHLA Container Terminal Odessa (CTO) as well as the local authorities will ensure that the humanitarian aid reaches the places where it is most needed. HHLA's procurement of the aid supplies was supported by NGO Humanitarian Logistics Organisation e.V. (HLO), who also helped with the export formalities. Together with HLO, the Ukrainian support staff, Hafen Hilft! e.V. and Hafen Hamburg Marketing e.V., HHLA is now part of the initiative "Hafenbrücke Hamburg-Odessa" (German for port bridge Hamburg-Odessa), which aims to pool skills and resources in order to supply the people in Odessa and the surrounding areas with urgently needed supplies. As part of this relief initiative, HHLA has made its transport network in the Odessa region available for further aid deliveries.
