Gaby Bornheim to lead VDR


The administrative board of the German Shipowners' Association (VDR) elected Gaby Bornheim as president of the association at its meeting last week. The term of office of former president Captain Alfred Hartmann thus comes to an end as previously planned.

 

As managing director, Bornheim, a lawyer, has been jointly responsible for the successful management of Peter Döhle Schiffahrts-KG, one of Germany's largest shipping companies, for many years.

 

The company employs about 5,000 people worldwide at sea and ashore and commercially manages a fleet of about 500 vessels, including 400 container ships as well as bulkers and multipurpose freighters, 120 of which are also technically managed. Bornheim is the first woman to hold the office of president in the VDR's 114-year history. (cj)
