∗ Located in the North of Germany at Elbe River, Hamburg is the trade and transport hub of Northern Europe. It offers an outstanding transport infrastructure and most advanced logistical support for passenger and freight transport. Everyday 170–180 goods trains ply the rails between the Port of Hamburg and inland areas. They convey 4,000 goods wagons which are delivered and collected daily from around 1,000 sidings and loading points around the port. In the domestic battle between carriers for long-distance traffic to and from Hamburg, the rail has a market share of over 70%.
