6. How do you see the future of the German flag.

We still see an unrestraint interest of many young people in shipping, be it at sea or at land. They stick with their chosen profession with passion and will show the German Flag across the oceans in the future.

There is just one thing I might like even better: a unified European shipping register where all European ships sail under the same conditions and everyone identifies primarily as European. Even though, there is a huge potential in this kind of project, it will most likely not come to pass anymore during my career.
