COMPANY HISTORY

Project planning for an initial series of newbuildings to highest technical standards started in the late 80s. Even at this early stage, the company focused on the general cargo / multipurpose market. The project for this series also marked the start of a campaign towards sustained modernization of the sea going fleet. A drive for improved cost-effectiveness led to project planning for various series of vessels in Germany and abroad in the 90s. Initial projects in China date back to the mid 90s.
