This year, we were exhibiting for the 9th time at the China International Logistics Fair in Shenzhen. Besides the exhibition, we joined several events including the World Port Strategy Forum.

On October 11th, we hosted our second Port of Hamburg Cocktail reception at Mandarin Oriental in Guangzhou. As this event was on the same day like the celebration of the 26th Anniversary of German Unity we decided to “merge” our two events and became co- organizer and joined the event organized by Mr. Helmut Lüders Consul General of the Federal Republic of Germany. We had a separate dedicated room to welcome our guests. Special thanks to Ms. Ann Yuan, Deputy Director General
