HHLA TK Estonia, a subsidiary of
Hamburger Hafen und Logistik AG, is ushering in the grain season with
innovative and sustainable solutions for bulk handling and warehousing
in the Estonian port of Muuga. The company has recently expanded its
facilities with the addition of three newly built warehouse sections and
significant advancements in its automatic entry and scale systems,
according to the company's release.
As the largest warehouse
operator in the region, HHLA TK Estonia now offers diverse storage
options for pellets and grain. The terminal boasts 86,500 m² of
specialized covered storage halls, complemented by extensive open areas.
This expansion allows the facility to handle up to 500,000 tons of bulk
cargo annually, reinforcing its position as a key player in the Baltic
logistics sector.
The new bulk cargo terminal concept
integrates state-of-the-art storage solutions, digital innovations, and
advanced loading equipment featuring dual power technology. The
highlight of this development is the mobile hydrocrane Mantsinen 120
DER, which can handle up to 620 tons of bulk cargo per hour. This crane
is the first of its kind in the Baltics, equipped with both electric
motors and a diesel engine, promoting operational flexibility and
efficiency.
In line with HHLA TK Estonia's
commitment to sustainability, the new facilities include three solar
parks installed on warehouse roofs, with a combined capacity of 310 kW
peak. This renewable energy integration ensures that a significant
portion of the loading operations is conducted with minimal greenhouse
gas emissions.
With these enhancements, HHLA TK Estonia
is well-equipped to support the region's agricultural sector and
contribute to a greener, more efficient supply chain.
