BREMEN. Achim Boehme, chief executive of container ship and bulk carrier Lomar Shipping, died on 25 July 2020 at the age of 56. A lawyer by training, Boehme worked for many years for merchant banks. He joined Lomar Shipping, headquartered in London, as chief financial officer in 2010 and shortly afterwards was appointed chief executive. He ensured that Bremen became a significant location for the company, and was a member of the board of the Bremer Rhederverein.
Pragmatic tugboat solution for greater safety
BREMEN. The tugboats that operate daily in Neustädter Hafen and the Industriehafen in Bremen have had a new berth since July 2026. Instead of being moored outside the harbour basin on the opposite bank of the Weser near Seehausen, as was previously the case, there are now two berths directly within Neustädter Hafen.
