■ INTERNAL – PORT OF HAMBURG MARKETING
HHM: Future Head of Dortmund Representative Office already on board
Since the beginning of the year, Markus Heinen has reinforced the Port of Hamburg Marketing Representative Office in Dortmund, where he will succeed Volker Hahn in July.
As an expert on transport logistics, Heinen brings immense knowhow and excellent contacts to his new function with Port of Hamburg Marketing. This thoroughly networked MBA is equally versed on handling the topics of rail freight transport, in- land & ocean-going shipping, and in cooperating with official bodies, chambers of commerce and trade associations at German and European levels. Heinen had previously worked as Regional Mana- ger North/East for SPC Multimodal Transport Solu- tions in Bonn.
With an annual transport volume of around 500,000 TEU – 20-ft standard containers – North Rhine- Westphalia is the second most important region for the Port of Hamburg’s hinterland container transport. Shippers and forwarders from North Rhine-Westpha- lia use the dense network of worldwide liner services via Hamburg for global distribution of imports and exports, consisting mainly of trade and department store goods, metals and metal products, machinery and equipment, vehicles, and food and beverages. The challenges in seaport-hinterland transport and stiff competition between the North Range ports make the work of the Port of Hamburg Representa- tive Office extremely varied and challenging. From Dortmund, it covers the market regions Lower Saxo- ny, Hesse, Rhineland-Palatinate and Saarland. At nu- merous briefings, networking events such as Port of Hamburg port evenings, and as an element in traffic projects, the Port Representative Office does invalua-

ble work, at the same time forming the link between HHM member companies in the Hamburg Metropo- litan Region and companies and organizations inland concerned with seaborne foreign trade, transport and logistics.
Heinen sees good chances of also activating the po- tential of rail and inland waterway shipping as environ- ment-friendly carriers for the Port of Hamburg’s hin- terland transport for traffic from the Moselle region via Cologne and from the vicinity of Siegen.
HHM’s Dortmund team of Kerstin and Volker Hahn will be retiring during the second half of the year. ■
