Die Sieger des diesjährigen „Green Focus Awards.“

BREMERHAVEN. The winners of this year’s “Green Focus Awards” were selected at the ENVOCONNECT sustainability conference in September. The ro-ro transporter “Auto Advance” of the Norwegian shipping company United European Car Carriers (UECC) won in the “Cleanest Vessel” category. As in the previous year, the title “Cleanest Fleet” went to the CMA CGM Group. For the first time ever, the newly introduced “Engagement” category honoured someone who has distinguished themself in the area of ports and sustainability. This award went to Professor Benjamin Wagner vom Berg (left), who has been active in Bremerhaven, Bremen and the region for many years and, due to his professorship at Bremerhaven University of Applied Sciences, has close ties to the ports of Bremen. Robert Howe, Managing Director of bremenports, (right) confirmed the jury’s decision for Wagner vom Berg as an outstanding choice and added: “In particular, he’s personally committed to reducing emissions in logistical processes, supervises theses on this topic, and initiates and takes part in relevant research and development projects.”
