What We Do

At HPC, everything is about global port and logistics consulting at the highest level. Our team not only supports port projects, from planning an investment to creating port master plans and decarbonising the industry but also helps shape the sustainable operations of cargo handling facilities and hinterland transportation - physically and digitally.

We work with renowned clients from port authorities, transport ministries, terminal operators and logistics providers. The multifaceted nature of our clients' concerns spurs us to use our broad expertise to offer custom-fit consulting services and develop innovative solutions.

How We Work

Project work is teamwork. And teamwork welds us together. Collegiality is lived - in the office, during projects or after work. It is particularly important to us to treat each other with sincerity, respect and support. This is the foundation for the reliability with which we pursue our tasks. Every team member and every customer should be able to rely on us to give our best. Together, we rely on cooperative collaboration to achieve the goals we have set ourselves.

We stand for modernity in logistics with a clear vision for our project work: digital, efficient and with attention to detail. Our working culture is increasingly data-based. We use mobile apps for smartphones and laptops and automatic electronic data exchange to make work more accessible. That enhances working remotely - whether from home or at the client's facility around the globe.

Impressions of Our Activities

Where We Come From

We are proud of our roots and the impressive journey we have made since our foundation in 1976. As a subsidiary of Hamburger Hafen und Logistik AG (HHLA), we were formed with the aim of optimizing terminal operations worldwide and helping to bring innovation to the port industry. 

Our consultants are at the heart of our success. With diverse backgrounds as terminal developers, equipment engineers, economists, data analysts, data scientists, mathematicians, simulation experts, IT consultants, software engineers and project managers, they bring a wide range of skills to the table. People from more than 15 different countries work for us. This diversity of content and culture enables us to offer consulting services that understand and drive the dynamics of the modern port and logistics industry.

We Share a Common Goal 

We see the challenges faced by individuals as a shared task for the entire team. In our view, it is natural to seek support from colleagues if you are unable to complete a task alone - whether due to professional advice, lack of time, spontaneous personal absence or illness. We attach great importance to a balanced relationship between give and take. We are actively committed to ensuring that tasks are not permanently passed on to others but see cooperation as a mutual exchange characterized by fairness and team spirit.
