Construction Materials
Mixtures of mineral materials and gravel for use in construction are mostly imported from Scotland and Scandinavia. Major purchasers are concrete and asphalt mixing plants and road construction companies in the Hamburg region as well as in the neighbouring federal states.
Exports via the Port of Hamburg are mostly headed for Great Britain and Scandinavia. Depending on the distance to be covered, the bulk cargo is transported by train or barge, while trucks take care of short hauls.
