The receivables from companies with a controlling interest relate to receivables from cash clearing with HGV totalling € 74,000 thousand (previous year: € 74,000 thousand). HHLA’s receivables accrued interest at a rate of 0.00 % p.a. (previous year: between 0.00 and 0.10 % p.a.) in the reporting period. The interest rates for HHLA’s liabilities were 0.10 % p.a. (previous year: 0.10 to 0.20 % p.a.).

The transactions with joint ventures pertain to transactions with companies accounted for using the equity method. These mainly relate to HHLA Frucht and Kombi-Transeuropa.

In the previous year, other transactions with related parties include income from the termination of the Übersee-Zentrum lease.

Expenses reported as other transactions with related parties mostly include rent for land and quay walls in the Port of Hamburg and the Speicherstadt historical warehouse district.

Obligations from finance leases amounting to € 105,914 thousand (previous year: € 106,304 thousand) for the lease of four mega-ship berths from HPA are included in other transactions with related parties.

Furthermore, HGV and the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg as parties related to HHLA have provided comfort letters and guarantees to lender banks for loans granted to companies in the Group. The nominal amount of the associated liabilities from bank loans is € 123,000 thousand (previous year: € 153,000 thousand), of which approximately € 72,831 thousand plus interest was still outstanding on the balance sheet date (previous year: € 82,874 thousand).

With effect from 18 October 2007, a partial loss compensation agreement was concluded between HHLA and HGV. HGV hereby undertakes to assume each annual deficit posted by the HHLA Real Estate subgroup as per commercial law during the term of the agreement. This applies insofar as the deficit is not compensated for by transferring amounts from retained earnings, other reserves or the capital reserve which were carried forward as profit or transferred to these reserves during the term of the contract in accordance with Section 272 (2) (4) of the German Commercial Code (HGB).

Expenses and income from related parties are on standard market terms. The amounts outstanding at the year-end are not secured and – with the exception of overnight funds in clearing and the loan liability to HGV in the previous year – do not attract interest.

No loans or comparable benefits were granted to the members of the Executive and Supervisory Boards in the reporting year or in the previous year.
