The Supervisory Board of Hamburger Hafen und Logistik AG appointed Jens Hansen as a member of the company's Executive Board and Chief Operating Officer (COO) at its meeting on 23 February 2017. Jens is currently Managing Director of HHLA Container Terminal Burchardkai GmbH. He will succeed Dr. Stefan Behn, who is known to be stepping down at his own request on 31 March 2017 after more than 20 years of successful service on the Executive Board. The supervisory Board also approved a change in the division of responsibilities within the Executive Board. As Chief Operating Officer (COO), Mr. Hansen will be in charge of Information Systems, Container Operations and Container Engineering. Responsibility for Container Sales will in future be held by the Chairwoman of the Executive Board, Ms. Titzrath. This should enable greater cooperation between the Sales division and the Intermodal segment, thereby strengthening HHLA's entire business. The Executive Board of HHLA also includes Heinz Brandt (Labour Director) and Dr. Roland Lappin (CFO, Finance and Real Estate).
