Logistics is facing considerable challenges worldwide, which will also place demands on HHLA. I am delighted that Angela Titzrath is willing to continue to lead HHLA in the coming years. We are very pleased to maintain our cooperation. With Annette Walter, a CFO with comprehensive expertise in all key areas for HHLA, particularly when it comes to financing strategy, controlling and M&A, is joining the company.
