To ensure that ships from all over the world can call at the Port of Hamburg, we dredge many tons of silt and sand from the navigation channel and the harbor basin. To do this, we flexibly deploy the appropriate equipment: from hopper dredgers and grab dredgers to silt plows.

We ensure the safety and smooth flow of shipping traffic on the Elbe River and in the Port of Hamburg by continuously surveying the riverbed. This allows us to quickly identify and remove obstacles, thereby ensuring that the water maintains the required minimum depth for ships.
