Michael de Reese remains Chairman of the Supervisory Board at Seaports

For nearly 30 years, the port economy and the Lower Saxony Ministry of Economics have been working together to effectively strengthen the perception of the Lower Saxony seaports in business, politics, and the public. This is evident, among other things, through the successful work of the joint marketing company Seaports of Niedersachsen GmbH, whose supervisory board has now been newly constituted. Other committees have also been elected.

(Oldenburg) Michael de Reese, CEO of Rhenus Port Logistics, has been reappointed as Chairman of the Supervisory Board. His deputy remains Uwe Jacob, head of department at the Lower Saxony Ministry of Economics. Other members of the supervisory board include Jan Müller, CEO of J. Müller SE, Captain Arne Ehlers, Chairman of the Cuxhaven Port Economic Community, Jan Remmers, Managing Director of Anker Schifffahrts-Gesellschaft mbH, Kersten Mittwollen, Head of Economic Development for the City of Oldenburg, and Andreas Bullwinkel, President of the Wilhelmshaven Port Economic Association.

Targeted Further Development of Port Marketing

“The Supervisory Board of Seaports of Niedersachsen GmbH brings together a high level of expertise and different perspectives from operational work, which we will specifically integrate into the further development of our port marketing company and its activities together with our managing director. I am very much looking forward to the continued collaboration in this committee,” said Michael de Reese.

For more than 20 years, Seaports of Niedersachsen GmbH, based in Oldenburg and financed as a public-private partnership by the state of Lower Saxony and the private port economy, has been consolidating the professional marketing of all Lower Saxony seaports. Seaports serves as an established umbrella brand for the entire service portfolio of the “Universal Port Lower Saxony,” which includes handling and logistics services for all types of goods as well as product-related value-added services.

Platforms for Networking

The port marketing company provides information on current developments at the seaport locations and creates global platforms for networking the port economy with its customers to successfully position itself in international competition. The Working Group of Lower Saxony Seaports, which has established itself as the political voice of the port economy, has also been newly elected. Here, Michael de Reese has also been confirmed as spokesperson, with Jan Müller reappointed as deputy spokesperson.
