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."
