Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Angela Titzrath will leave Hamburger Hafen und Logistik AG (HHLA) by 31 December 2025 at the latest and will remain available to support the transition process until then.
The decision to end her nine-year tenure at HHLA was made by mutual agreement between the Supervisory Board and the CEO. The search for a successor to the CEO has already begun.
Based on Angela Titzrath’s entrepreneurial strategy for the future, HHLA has invested more than half a billion euros in modernising the container terminals in the Port of Hamburg over the past five years.
With the expansion of the intermodal business, the complete takeover of the rail subsidiary METRANS and the expansion of the hinterland network from 10 to 21 terminals, this area has developed into a key pillar of the company.
The acquisition of the seaport terminals in Tallinn (Estonia) and Trieste (Italy) strengthened the shipping company’s presence along key trade and transport corridors.

Titzrath said: “I can look back on nine very dynamic but also extremely exciting years at the helm of HHLA. Logistics connects markets, people and perspectives. My goal was to strategically develop HHLA as a key player in a volatile and geopolitically sensitive environment and to strengthen the value of the company.
“With the modernisation of the Hamburg terminals, the expansion of the intermodal business and strategic locations such as Tallinn and Trieste, we have positioned HHLA decisively in the competitive environment – in the service of our customers and the interests of an efficient supply chain for companies and consumers throughout Europe.”
Earlier this month, HHLA announced the acquisition of a 60 per cent stake in Eurobridge Intermodal Terminal LLC in Batiovo, western Ukraine.
