Three electrically powered portal cranes service each of the additional storage blocks, which are located adjacent to the northern side of the existing automated container yard. These will only use renewable power, reducing CO2 emissions significantly. Ingo Witte, CTB Managing Director, said: "With the three new storage blocks, we are steadily pursuing the modernisation of our terminal. "The innovative systems offer a more efficient use of space, reduce emissions and optimise operations for our clients. In doing so, we are not only making CTB more efficient, we are also taking a significant step towards achieving our sustainability targets." In November 2024, two new container gantry cranes arrived at HHLA CTB.
