Expert knowledge in demand
As Chairman of the Seaport Freight Forwarding Committee, Oliver-Karsten Thormählen heads the committee, in which 16 proven experts from Hamburg's seaport freight forwarders work together. They are committed, for example, to further improving the infrastructure in the Port of Hamburg or optimizing the conditions for smooth import and export processes.
