Mediterranean Shipping Company continues to expand in Germany
The Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC) has opted to base its German headquarters on a building site 73 on Ericusgraben in HafenCity. The site offers 13,000 square metres of office space and at least 800 square metres of a publicly accessible area. The company is also considering a rooftop terrace with views of HafenCity and Speicherstadt, a restaurant and a showroom. Construction is due to start in 2026.
"We want to significantly expand our business in Hamburg with 500 to 700 employees at the site in future, and in Germany as a whole," said Nils Kahn, Managing Director of MSC Germany. The Port of Hamburg has always been important to the shipping company as one of its home ports. The new headquarters is a crucial part of its vision for Hamburg, Kahn added. The many companies in the maritime logistics, media and retail sectors in HafenCity also prompted its choice of location. MSC's large-scale headquarters will allow the company to expand its network and Hamburg's strategic importance for the maritime industry.
