On the positive side, the number of new vehicles (+2.4) and accompanied truck transports (+1.3 percent) increased. The number of passengers also rose by 2.5 percent to 500,000.<\/p>\n
Despite difficult market conditions, shipping companies maintained their liner services in full. “We greatly appreciate that,” comments LHG Managing Director Sebastian J\u00fcrgens. “We want to continue supporting our shipping companies in market development. In addition to further expanding our berths, our largest project number 5 has already been completed, we are primarily focusing on stimulating market access: On July 11, we will hold the second German-Latvian Port Day in Riga. We will be presenting with a strong L\u00fcbeck delegation there.” As usual, the German-Finnish Port Day will follow in L\u00fcbeck on November 27.<\/p>\n
The L\u00fcbeck Port Days are gaining more and more recognition. For the premiere of the German-Latvian Port Day last April, Latvian President Egils Levits personally traveled to the Hanseatic city. In his appearance, he honored both the close connection between the two economies and the intensive, long-standing partnership between L\u00fcbeck and the Latvian ports. All speakers emphasized the close ties between the German and Latvian economies, particularly the long-standing partnership between L\u00fcbeck and the Latvian ports. The German-Finnish Port Day has become a staple in the annual calendar of logistics events. Recently, Seppo Parvi, Deputy CEO of the global corporation Stora Enso, a prominent figure in the international forest products industry, appeared there.<\/p>\n
