Clear appeal on 58th Captain’s Day

BREMEN. Around 300 guests from the shipping industry, business and politics came to the 58th Bremen Port Conference in the UpperTown Hall held by the Bremen Senate and BHV – Bremische Hafen- und Logistikvertretung. Guest of honour was Dr Christoph Ploß, member of the German government and Federal Government Coordinator for the Maritime Economy and Tourism, and Kristina Vogt, Bremen’s Senator for Economic Affairs, Ports and Transformation. BHV Executive Committee member Dr Patric Drewes emphasised in his opening speech: “Our ports are not just regional transshipment centres, they are lifelines for the entire country. They secure supply, competitiveness and prosperity.” The traditional banquet was once again the stage for clear messages – including the fact that the ports of Bremen will not be able to guarantee their role as an international hub without much greater funding by the German government.
