Kollegen, Kolleginnen,

The past weeks and months have been for many of us amongst the hardest we've had to face. We have had great trials and tribulations heaped upon us, but through adversity we stood together. I could not be more proud of you all!

I know also that the news of the horrific atack on our colleagues at Altona station has made many of you angry, inspired fear in others. It is in these difficult times, more than ever, that we come together as human beings, as I have seen you all do in these past weeks. We mourn our departed friends, colleagues taken from us to soon, and will rebuild - for them, and for the future.

At a time like this there is no place for doubt, and so I want you to have none: Despite their best efforts, your enemies have not deprived you of your well-earned employment. We will rebuild Altona; in the meantime those affected will each receive a transfer to Duisburg, Alster, or another facility you choose. To all of you... you are not alone, we are all together. I remind you all that counselling and support services are available for each of you, through your Human Resources Department.

Even now in these dark days, we must not lose sight of the good too. Thanks to the hard work, and passionate dedication, of our staff across the company, our operations continue apace and Republican has been proud to add new operations bases to our network, along with breaking ground on Duisburg station, which will function as our new corporate Headquarters.

Together we are opening new and exciting frontiers; many of you have no doubt heard rumours of the planned extension of our facilities at the Alsterwerft. I am pleased to be able to confirm that as part of Projekt Neuanbau III, I will be personally relocating my office facilities to Alster. As part of this project, we will be holding open-consultations with the workers of Alster and our staff across Republican, to ensure that the new facility will not only meet the high standards we expect of ourselves, but further increase productivity, efficiency and staff safety. Detailed announcements will be made available to you in due course by your on-site line managers. I urge you all to attend and share your thoughts with us!

In these difficult times we look to the promise of a brighter future.
Thank you all.

Signed, Uwe Richter,
Chief Operating Officer, Republican Shipping
