At € 9.4 m, the result before taxes on earnings was well above that of the previous year (2009: € 7.9 m) and is also the best result in the history of the duisport Group. “The duisport business model of being an integrated provider of logistical services, which we have continually built up over the last few years, is the basis for our corporation’s success,” said Erich Staake, Chief Executive Officer of Duisburger Hafen AG, at the financial statement press conference today. “Alongside the further development of our home location Duisburg, building up our activities in the Rhine-Ruhr region and building up our international commitment were last year’s focal points,” continued Staake.
