New maritime coordinator for German government

04.09.2025
BERLIN. Dr Christoph Ploß has been the new coordinator for the Maritime Industry and Tourism for the federal government since late May. In a press release issued by the Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy, Ploß stated: “Germany will only regain its leading status with a strong maritime industry. Consequently, the new federal government will significantly increase support for the coastal states in terms of funding seaports. Port policy will also become a national responsibility, particularly in view of its importance in the supply of energy.
