Thomas Schlipköther and the duisport employees Erika Meszaros (left) and Bettina Wallenhorst optimize a planned new logistics building.<br />
The idea is as simple as it is convincing. “We have been successfully managing a port here in Duisburg for years. Why shouldn’t we pass on and market our<br />
