The HHLA subsidiary UNIKAI Lagerei- und Speditionsgesellschaft was awarded an environmental management certificate from Det Norske Veritas Germanischer Lloyd (DNV GL) in June. The certificate, in accordance with DIN EN ISO 14001:2009, is valid for three years and recognises the company's efforts to protect the environment. This refers to the handling, storage and packing of vehicles, containers, heavy and bulk cargo, as well as all shipping services carried out by UNIKAI.

Measures to improve environmental protection were drawn up together with UNIKAI employees. One such measure is the current testing of energy-saving LED lamps on the light towers, for example. Chassis have also been fitted with plastic sheeting to reduce the sound the containers make when being transported. This also benefits the residents of nearby HafenCity.
