As of 30 June 2019, total capital expenditure throughout the HHLA Group amounted to € 110.9 million (previous year: € 44.2 million).

The reason for the increase in expenditure was primarily the activation of a concession contract for a terminal facility. The largest investments up to the end of the first half of 2019 were made in the Container and Intermodal segments and are primarily categorised as investments for expansion work.

As of 30 June 2019, the Container and Intermodal segments accounted for the bulk of investment commitments at € 179.3 million.
