Leo Ruijs nieuwe topman ECT

Hutchison Port Holdings (HPH) heeft met onmiddellijke ingang Leo Ruijs (49) benoemd tot chief executive officer van de Rotterdamse containerstuwadoor ECT.

Daarmee is hij de opvolger van Jan Westerhoud, die eind vorig jaar plotseling opstapte nadat gebleken was dat Havenbedrijf Rotterdam en HPH zonder diens medeweten afspraken hadden gemaakt over beëindiging van het jaren slepende claimconflict tussen de twee. Daarop ging Westerhoud per eind volgend jaar na tien jaar topman van ECT te zijn geweest vervroegd met pensioen.

Ruijs is afkomstig uit de eigen gelederen van ECT, kwam in 2002 in dienst en is sinds 2004 chief financial officer. Daarvoor heeft hij onder meer gewerkt bij AND International Publishers en Coopers & Lybrand. Het directieteam van ECT bestaat verder uit Wando Boevé, Jan Waas en Jasper Hooykaas.

Anders dan Westerhoud is Ruys niet tevens directeur van  de Noord-Europa divisie van HPH, waar onder meer terminals in Stockholm en Gdynia onder vallen. Hutchison heeft die tak recentelijk samengevoegd met Central Europa, dat onder meer terminals in het Italiaanse Taranto en het Spaanse Barcelona beheert en die onder leiding stond van Clemence Cheng.

Cheng heeft nu de leiding over de hele divisie Europa. Hij is tevens ceo van Hutchison Ports UK, waar Port of Felixstowe, Harwich International en London Thamesport onder vallen.

The acquisition of Kramer Group represents an important milestone in the expansion of QTerminals, as the Port of Rotterdam is the largest port in Europe and is a significant addition to QTerminals Group’s record of success in diversifying its operations. In addition, this acquisition further reinforces QTerminals Group’s commitment to contribute towards Qatar National Vision 2030 which aims for the diversification of the national economy and foreign investments.

Kramer Group complements QTerminals and adds existing business, a robust value-creating service offering and European network to QTerminals portfolio.
Kramer Group has both core and strategic importance to the Port of Rotterdam, as it supplements the Port’s activities whilst having direct access to the deep-sea terminals of the Port of Rotterdam.
The acquisition of the Kramer Group by QTerminals allows its entry and presence in the largest port in Europe which makes QTerminals Group’s position stronger in relation to future opportunities in Europe and other developed global markets.
The presence of QTerminals in the Port of Rotterdam is strategic and reputable for QTerminals Group in particular and for the State of Qatar in general as QTerminals Group’s profile will become known in the largest European port..

“I’m very excited about this significant milestone in the journey of our family business which started 60 years ago by my father. Today, we mark the beginning of a new chapter joining forces with QTerminals. I believe that their expertise, resources, and industry insights will enable us to expand our horizons and explore untapped opportunities. Whilst maintaining our culture, organization, core team and our commitment to delivering the superior quality services to our clients in almost all aspects of container logistics”, said André Kramer, CEO of the Kramer Group.
By acquiring Kramer Group, QTerminals will continue to develop its world leading technical and operational know-how to enhance and optimize its potential as one of the leading providers of integrated container logistics services in Europe.

Kramer Group’s development and growth in recent years are indicators of good corporate management and governance of the organization. “Following our assessment of the current organization, we are excited to retain and welcome Kramer’s key management personnel and employees into QTerminals, including Mr André Kramer, who will continue as Chief Executive Officer” said Neville Bissett.
