solution. Mr. Hansen fulfills all the requirements of a successful COO.
- Chairwoman of the Executive Board, Angela Titzrath: Very much looking
forward to working with him. With his wide-ranging knowledge, Mr.

The Supervisory Board of Hamburger Hafen und Logistik AG (HHLA) appointed
Jens Hansen as a member of the company's Executive Board and Chief
Operating Officer (COO) at its meeting on 23 February 2017. The 48-year-old
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.
Explaining the Supervisory Board's decision, its Chairman, Prof. Dr. Peer
Witten, said: "After an extensive Europe-wide selection process, we have
decided on Mr. Hansen. He is an experienced and competent executive, who
meets all the requirements to be COO at HHLA. With the decision to go with
an internal successor, the Supervisory Board is combining the expectation
of continuity with strategic alignment for the future. We wish Mr. Hansen
every success in his new role."
Angela Titzrath, Chairwoman of HHLA's Executive Board, said: "I am very
much looking forward to continuing the as always excellent working
relationship with Mr. Hansen on HHLA's Executive Board now. With his wide-
ranging knowledge of technical, operational and financial matters and his
proven skills in managing the staff at Burchardkai, he will enhance the
work of the Executive Board and help to ensure HHLA's continued successful
development."
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
