Prof. Dr. Hans Ludwig Beth
Imprint
During that period he put his stamp on the association’s activities particularly with nu- merous events and frequent participation at conferences and showcasing at the trade fairs in the Central/Eastern European market region. The same period was also notable for the construction and entry into service of Container Terminal Altenwerder.
WORLDWIDE CONTACTS
His tremendous commitment, worldwide contacts in industry and the academic world, and powerful personality enabled Beth to achieve a great deal. He remains unforgotten in the port industry.
Beth was closely linked with the transport industry. He studied economics, later tak- ing a PhD, and working for the Institute of Shipping Economics and Logistics (ISL) in Bremen from the end of the 1960s until 1985, for 14 years as its Director. In 1985 he moved from the River Weser to Hamburg to become Head of HHLA’s Marketing Division. In 1992 he left HHLA for the forerunner or- ganization of Port of Hamburg Marketing. As its chairman, until his retirement he was re- sponsible for marketing the Port of Hamburg as a location. ■
