Founded in 1885 and headquartered in Hamburg, Germany, HHLA lists on the stock exchange under ticker HHFA.DE. In late 2024, HHLA completed a strategic partnership with Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC), which acquired up to 49.9% of Class A shares following a voluntary public takeover offer at EUR 16.75 per share, while the City of Hamburg retains 50.1% majority ownership; this includes a EUR 450 million equity commitment from both for investments, a long-term volume guarantee from MSC for Hamburg terminals, and commitments to EUR 1.2 billion in investments through 2028, employee protections against redundancies for five years, and maintenance of HHLA's neutral business model.

The company reports strong 2025 performance with 12.5% revenue growth to over EUR 1.3 billion in the first nine months for its Port Logistics subgroup, alongside adjusted full-year EBIT guidance of EUR 145-160 million amid global uncertainties.
