Financial know-how and technical understanding combined with the Hanseatic values of reliability and precision are the cornerstones which make our shipping company a reliable partner.

Quality shipboard operations depend on top shipboard staff. For this reason, our shipping company invests considerable time and know-how into the goals-based composition, deployment scheduling and further training of our international crews and in fostering the next generation of mariners.

We are cooperating with very experienced specialists: the crewing agency Bernhard Schulte Shipmanagement, mainly their offices in Hamburg/Germany and Limassol/Cyprus, is following our guidelines and coordinate with us the sufficient and qualified manning of our vessels, i.e. they take care of and provide:

Support for a 270-strong, regular workforce comprising captains, ship's officers and crews.
Advanced training for senior officers
Initial and further training of our personnel on land and at sea, in collaboration with specialist training bodies both in Germany and abroad
Training as deck cadet in our company.
Practical term for nautical students on one of our ships.
