Stella Marine Services GmbH & Company KG
The Stella Group of Companies is an independent service provider for the entire maritime industry. It was founded in Hamburg at the beginning of this millennium and started as a manager for shipping investments. Since then the full technical and nautical management and the commercial operation for a fleet of modern bulk carriers and tankers were added. New offices in Shanghai and Hong Kong were opened.
The Stella Group is familiar with all major shipping markets and types of ships. The management and the key personnel owns decades of experience and expertise in the maritime industry, so Stella started providing consultancy services.
History
In May 2003 Martin Strothmann, together with his partners, founded an Investmenthouse and a shipping company in Hamburg, which assumed management of the ships held in the ownership of the investors. The nautical and technical management was in the beginning subcontracted to third party companies.
In November 2003 the product tanker “PORT LOUIS” of 38,000 tdw, was taken over as the first ship under the company´s management. Two additional product tankers of 38,000 tdw and four product tankers of 47,000 tdw each were taken over in 2004.
The year 2005 was noteworthy for the entry in bulk shipping: three Superhandymax bulk carriers of 53,000 tdw each were commissioned.
In 2006 Martin Strothmann sold his shares in the Investmenthouse-subsidiary and took over the shipping company. In the same year, two more Superhandymax bulk carriers were commissioned, followed by the sixth bulk carrier of the same type in 2007.
In August 2008 Stella Marine Services GmbH & Co. KG moved into new offices at Am Sandtorkai in the Hamburg HafenCity, where it began building up its own nautical-technical management.
