Jens Froese

Professor, Head of Workgroup Maritime Logistics. School of Engineering and Science, Jacobs University Bremen.

Prof. Froese’s first career was in sea service when he swopped his comfortable ship master’s chair for a wooden seat in universities’ lecturing halls to graduate as a survey engineer, specialized in sea survey and hydrography, and as an industrial engineer, specialized in maritime logistics. Besides lecturing at his home university in Bremen, the international Jacobs University with students from 120 countries, he is a visiting professor at a number of universities from China to Scandinavia and professor emeritus of Technical University Hamburg-Harburg. Research in maritime logistics covering the sea transport, the ports and pre - and post-sea transport always was an important issue of his academic career. He conducted a large number of research projects on national, European and global level focusing on special areas of the whole transport chain.
