Its research and teaching centre in particular on the economic, environmental and safety-related requirements of maritime logistics. A key part of our work is the methodical investigation and development of concepts and solutions for maritime logistics processes. To this end, we collaborate with national and international partners from research and industry.

The institute's goal is to drive innovation in national and international maritime logistics processes and to promote sustainability. We apply scientific methods and modern technologies to continuously advance the state of research and transfer it into practice. Our findings are incorporated into our practice-oriented courses, strengthening students' technical and scientific skills. In this way, we make a positive contribution to society, science and industry. In doing so, we adhere to the principles of good scientific practice and follow the TUHH mission statement.
