The car you drive, the bread in your toaster, the energy from your socket - even the food in your cat's bowl - chances are the raw materials passed through HBTA. Around 160 professionals make that possible, day and night, on the quay and in the control room, all working to the same standard of safety and environmental care.
We also train here. Whether you are learning terminal operations, maintenance, or logistics planning, students work in our team and take real responsibility while they learn.
