Retirement
At the end of March, our Esbjerg Terminal took leave of Hans Mikkelsen (62 years old) who chose to retire early. We hereby thank Hans for his commitment and efforts through the years - also at the time when he formed part of the dockers’ gang, as truck driver, before he was actually on our payroll. We will always remember his dead straight rows of cargo, his fantastic sense of order and his good memory. Qualities we all benefited from in connection with the handling of the large annual shipments of seed potatoes to North Africa.
