On 25 June 2002, the first container ship was handled at the new Container Terminal Altenwerder (CTA) . On 1 October 2005, the company changed its name to Hamburger Hafen und Logistik AG. The abbreviation HHLA remained. HHLA was retroactively split into the subgroups Port Logistics and Real Estate with effect from 1 January 2007. On 2 November 2007, the Port Logistics subgroup was listed on the stock exchange. Since its initial public offering in October 2007, HHLA shares have been traded on the Prime Standard at the Frankfurt Stock Exchange and the Hamburg Stock Exchange. In 2010, Burchardkai and am Tollerort were fused to decrease costs after a decrease of 30 percent in container business and 20 percent in across land logistics in 2009. There had been delays in the digging of the Elbe to deepen it for large container ships. In early 2023, Chinese shipping firm Cosco bought one of the three terminals, which caused protests by the German government coalition (Scholz cabinet)and from abroad. In September 2023 it was reported that billionaire Klaus-Michael Kühne wanted to take over HHLA. which was followed by an offer of Swiss MSC of nearly 1.3 billion euros.
