Lower Saxony Port Day ILLUMINATES “Energy World of Tomorrow”

28.09.2023
STADE. Representatives from the port industry, politics and press meet up annually to discuss the latest developments and prospects for the seaports of Lower Saxony. This year, the meeting was held in the Stadeum in Stade. André Heim, Managing Director of Seaports of Niedersachsen, officially opened the event and Sönke Hartief, Mayor of Stade, welcomed the guests before handing over to Olaf Lies, Lower Saxony’s Minister for Economic Affairs, Transport, Construction and Digitalisation, who gave a keynote speech, highlighting the possibilities of the state’s seaports regarding wind energy. Afterwards, Oliver Detje (DVV Media Group) hosted a gripping panel debate entitled “Lower Saxony’s Seaports – for the Energy World of Tomorrow”. The panel included Olaf Lies, Dr Neldes Hovestad (Dow Deutschland), Michael de Reese (Niedersächsische Hafenvertretung e.V.), Dr Johann Killinger (Hanseatic Energy Hub), Holger Bär (German Chemical Industry Association – North) and Dr Dennis Kruse (Deutsche WindGuard). Prior to a tour of the quayside by coach, the guests enjoyed a buffet, which gave them the opportunity to discuss numerous aspects from the previous debate.
