24 hours in the Port of Hamburg

Port of Hamburg, the Elbe from Blankenese to the city · 3 to 4 November 2026 · AIS

24 hours in the Port of Hamburg, 3 to 4 November 2026, from Blankenese to the city centre. Every ship is drawn to scale at its AIS position and heading: the large container ships coming up the Elbe to the terminals at Waltershof, the passenger ferries at the Landungsbrücken, tugs, and the pilot boats (circled). 384 vessels appeared in the area, 257 of them moving. Ten were over 300 m long; the largest were HMM Oslo at 400 m and ONE Ingenuity and Mathilde Maersk at 399 m.
