Commission approves EUR 286 million German State aid to port of Hamburg
The German measures consist of two grants of EUR 143 million each to support infrastructure works in the port of Hamburg. The measures aim to ensure quay infrastructure is maintained, to increase safety and to continue activity at the port.
The Commission assessed the scheme under Article 107(3)(c) TFEU and found that the measures will promote common transport objectives. It found that the measures are necessary, proportionate and that the positive effects outweigh any potential distortions. The aid will avoid disruptions to the activities of a core port in Europe, does not exceed the funding gap and will not increase the port’s capacity.
The non-confidential decisions will be published under case numbers SA.118016 and SA.118022 in the State aid register.
