PORT LIFE.

Health, well-being and team spirit are not a one-way street at our port – they simply belong together! What used to be known as occupational health management has long since reached a new dimension at our company.

Our offering goes far beyond traditional occupational health and safety. PORT LIFE stands for everything that strengthens, motivates and connects us as a team:

Whether it's learning languages, inspiring coaching talks, sailing, forklift cup, running or boxing – there's something for everyone here. We promote team spirit at the bowling cup, at joint barbecues or at our after-work events. And, of course, we also address topics such as nutrition, smoking cessation and fitness programmes.

In short: PORT LIFE is everything that makes our port life even more vibrant.
Because: We live the port!
