Harbor policy is viewed as a national task, especially in view of the energy policy challenges that come to Germany. Important infrastructure projects, such as the A20, A26-Ost and the Köhlbrandbrücke, should get a higher priority to improve the connection of the ports.
In addition, Ploß aims to reform the planning law in order to enable faster implementations of necessary measures. He also plans to increase the investments in the long-distance road, rail and water road network around the German ports. With an internationally competitive tonnag tax, he wants to sustainably promote the shipping and shipping industry and at the same time relieve the tourism industry through less requirements.

The plans of Ploß also include an expansion of rail and air traffic in order to make the travel destination Germany even more attractive. In his role, he will also involve the previous MPs from Hamburg, Franziska Hoppermann and Christoph de Vries, more strongly in the political processes in Berlin. With these steps, Ploß wants to promote a sustainable positive development for the maritime economy and tourism in Germany.

The next few years will be exciting, while Ploß is trying to successfully master the challenges in both areas.
