During his welcome speech, Christoph Bruns (3rd from right), spokesman for the BHV executive committee, pointed out that around 40,000 people are active in logistics and the port industry in Bremen and Bremerhaven alone. “That’s why Captain’s Day is one of the major social events in our state, and rightfully so, as the maritime industry has shaped this region more than just about any other in Germany,” he emphasised
