The ownership and management company of the world's largest inland port is thus not only starting 2023 with a new generation at the top, but is also welcoming an experienced and recognized expert as well as a familiar face back to Duisburg: Lars Nennhaus, who started his career at the Port of Hamburg, already worked for duisport as Managing Director of Port & Logistics Development from 2011 to 2018. After four years working internationally for one of the world's leading chemical logistics companies, the 47-year-old now completes the Management Board together with CEO Markus Bangen and Dr. Carsten Hinne.

"Over the past eighteen months, the duisport management team has undergone significant personnel changes. With Lars Nennhaus, we have found the last missing piece of the puzzle to shape the change together and lead the Port of Duisburg into a successful future. We are delighted to have him back on board," explains duisport CEO Markus Bangen.

Lars Nennhaus: "I am still very familiar with many current port projects. I was involved in initiating some of them myself and they are now in the implementation phase, which I can now actively help to shape. We still have a lot to do, particularly in the areas of infrastructure and digitalization, which affects both the location and our entire network. I am looking forward to continuing this challenging task together with a highly motivated team."

"For the past year, I have experienced the Port of Duisburg as an extremely exciting and challenging place to work, and there is a great sense of optimism everywhere. I am convinced that we will drive change forward together and I am very much looking forward to working with Lars Nennhaus in the Executive Board team," adds Dr. Carsten Hinne.

Lars Nennhaus is now responsible for Technology and Operations, including Port and Rail Operations, as well as Construction and Facility Management. Dr. Carsten Hinne remains the Executive Board member responsible for Network International, Superstructure, Human Resources and Purchasing. CEO Markus Bangen is responsible for Infrastructure, Finance, Strategy and Digital Transformation, Investments and M&A as well as Legal.
