As of the balance sheet date, interests in joint ventures include Hansaport Hafenbetriebs­gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung, ARS-UNIKAI GmbH, Kombi-Transeuropa Terminal Hamburg GmbH, Spherie GmbH, Third Element Aviation GmbH. In the previous year, Hyperport Cargo Solutions GmbH i. G. was still included under interests in joint ventures. They also include HHLA Frucht- und Kühl-Zentrum GmbH, Ulrich Stein Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung and HVCC Hamburg Vessel Coordination Center GmbH. The HHLA Group holds more than half of the voting rights in these companies, yet has no controlling influence as the companies are effectively jointly managed. This is due in principle to the equal representation of the main governing bodies (shareholders’ meeting, Supervisory Board and/or management).
