What do you do when you’ve stepped down from one of the top jobs in liner shipping?

You focus on life’s priorities and make the best use of your newfound freedom.

That seems to be the goal for Hamburg Sud’s Ottmar Gast, who at 65 stepped down as chairman of the executive board at the beginning of the year.

After 23 years in high-ranking positions at Hamburg Sud, he is ready to treat himself to more time with the family, grandchildren, holidays and hobbies.
