Hamburg Süd veteran Frank Smet (pictured above), currently the Maersk-owned carrier’s chief commercial officer, is to retire at the end of March, after 27 years with the company.

Mr Smet has been a member of Hamburg Süd’s management board since 2012. He was initially responsible for network, operations and logistics before assuming responsibility for sales and customer service in 2017.
That role will be performed by Hamburg Süd chief executive Arnt Vespermann.
