http://ift.tt/1u7QRqm The Port of Hamburg is a port in Hamburg, Germany, on the River Elbe. The harbour is located 110 kilometres from the mouth of the Elbe into the North Sea. It is named Germany's "Gateway to the World" and is the largest port in Germany. In terms of TEU throughput, the port of Hamburg is the third-busiest port in Europe (after the ports of Rotterdam and Antwerp) and 15th-largest worldwide. The harbour covers an area of 73.99 km² (64.80 km² usable), of which 43.31 km² (34.12 km²) are land areas. The location is naturally advantaged by a branching Elbe, creating an ideal place for a port complex with warehousing and transshipment facilities. The River Elbe flows through the centre of Hamburg and is the port's lifeline to the North Sea. It is one of the major rivers of Central Europe. It rises in the Krkonoše Mountains of the northern Czech Republic before traversing much of Bohemia (Czech Republic), then Germany and flowing into the North Sea at Cuxhaven, 110 km (68 mi) northwest of Hamburg. Its total length is 1,094 kilometres (680 mi). This film begins in central Hamburg on the Eastern bank of the River Elbe, where footage shows both heavy shipping and much smaller personal and passenger craft. It then focuses on the cruise ship MSC Magnifica, which is ported at Hamburg Cruise Terminal (near Altona). After this the footage is directly taken from the MSC Magnifica, and firstly shows surrounding views of the Port, River Elbe and City of Hamburg. Before the journey North out of Hamburg begins. From here onwards, footage is of the Port, passing shipping including Hapag Lloyd passenger vessels, a paddle steamer, ferries and container ships. Hamburg Finkenwerder Airport is featured, with good views of an Airbus A300-600ST (Super Transporter) or Beluga, which is parked by one of the hangars. After this footage goes to the wider Elbe, where the city disappears and gives way to rural and agricultural land as the sun begins to set in the distance. The film ends at night as the MSC Magnifica approaches the Elbe estuary to enter the North Sea.

The Elbe Tunnel, Hamburg, Germany - 13th October, 2014
http://ift.tt/1DEhlzt The (old) Elbe Tunnel or St. Pauli Elbe Tunnel, which opened in 1911, is a pedestrian and vehicle tunnel in Hamburg, Germany. The 426 m (1,398 ft) long tunnel was a technical sensation; 24 m (80 ft) beneath the surface, two tubes with 6 m (20 ft) diameter connect central Hamburg with the docks and shipyards on the south side of the river Elbe. This meant a big improvement for tens of thousands of workers in one of the busiest harbours in the world. Four huge lifts on either side of the tunnel carried pedestrians, carriages and motor vehicles to the bottom. They are still in operation, though due to the limited capacity by today's standards, other bridges and tunnels have been built and taken over most of the traffic.
