Thorsten Dantz , general manager of CONDACO , explained : “ We ’ re excited to present this extremely competitive offer to our customers .” The partnership stipulates that the HHLA subsidiary HCCR will concentrate on cleaning , handling and transporting tanks containers . The cleaning station at Altenwerder Damm has all the necessary technical qualifications and certifications at its disposal . The HCCR specialists take care to provide a high quality cleaning service in compliance with all applicable regulations , while also considering the delivery and receipt of containers via truck or train .

Separately , transport service firm Klaeser is renovating and upgrading its Hamburg cleaning facility . After commissioning a market survey , Klaeser decided to select Gröninger for the job . The plan was to keep the down time of the facility to a minimum . This project required proper preparation with the main challenges being the existing building structure and the complete renewal of the control panels and cabling . Klaeser operates hundreds of tank trucks and containers from various locations in Germany . Tank cleaning services are offered in Herten , Hamburg and Ludwigshafen .
