Jin10 data reported on August 19 that, according to data from the Hamburg Port Marketing Association on August 18, in the first half of 2025, the seaborne cargo throughput of Hamburg Port is expected to rise by 3.6%, and container throughput is expected to rise by 9.3%, showing an overall stable growth trend. Due to the frequent changes in U.S. tariff policies, the container throughput from Hamburg Port to the U.S. has decreased by 19.3%. Axel Mattern, director and CEO of the Hamburg Port Marketing Association, pointed out that this highlights the negative impact of U.S. trade policy uncertainty on global shipping and trade between Europe and the U.S.
