HAMBURG. Gaby Bornheim will continue as President of the Association of German Coastal Shipowners (VDR). The MD of the Peter Döhle shipping company will remain in the position until 2027. “We are still faced with major challenges: the effects of geopolitical conflicts will continue to challenge us, and efforts to transform shipping to achieve climate neutrality must still be pursued and intensified,” stated Bornheim. The VDR Council of Executive Officers was also newly elected. Thomas Rehder and Peter Oltmann stepped down from the Council, while Peter Bagh (Oldendorff Carriers) and Stefan Jüngerhans (Reederei Jüngerhans) were appointed.
