13/11/26 (Agence Europe) – On Friday 13 November, the European Commission approved two German State aid measures under EU State aid rules each worth €143 million, to support infrastructure works at the Port of Hamburg. The investments are intended to ensure quay infrastructure maintenance, improve safety, and ensure the port can continue operating. According to the European Commission, by averting the potential collapse of the Steinwerder quay and allowing the Salzgitter quay to continue handling bulk goods, the measures will prevent operational disruptions at a port on the core Trans-European Transport Network. The aid will be provided in the form of direct grants from the City of Hamburg. (JV)
