We know how port works. In all dimensions, in all areas. Since our foundation in 1858, we have successfully mastered almost every conceivable maritime challenge in the North Sea and Baltic Sea, including the Kiel Canal. With over 150 years of experience in our highly competitive and dynamic industry, we continue to stand for maximum flexibility, the greatest personal commitment on site, inexhaustible energy and tailor-made solutions today and tomorrow. Meeting your maritime challenges is our mission!
Whatever you have on board or should have on board: We know what needs to be done and have the expertise required for optimal handling. This includes more than just ship handling. We place just as much emphasis on looking after your crew, who enjoy the highest priority with us and are always attended to promptly, professionally and personally, even in the event of unforeseen challenges. On board and in port.
In the port, you depend on smooth processes. An experienced partner directly on site who can also handle unforeseen events with confidence is a potential competitive advantage for you. This is exactly what we offer you. In all German and Polish seaports, we are personally present around the clock for your continuous support and are ready to stand by your side!
We are the pioneers in providing cruise services on the North and Baltic Seas. We have been handling our turnarounds in Rostock, Bremerhaven, Kiel and Hamburg smoothly and routinely for decades. Just like every other stop in all North and Baltic Sea ports. And we also master and fulfill special challenges (as recently with Corona) or wishes of crew and passengers in direct contact with the local authorities and industry.
Renewable energies, that means: very high frequency, enormous spontaneity and highest solution competence. We are very familiar with the high frequency and the constantly changing special requirements of this dynamic sector. In Sassnitz and Cuxhaven, we are constantly under power to master all technical and logistical challenges for you, from reporting and dealing with authorities to organizing crew accommodation and other requested services.
Whether RoRo or RoPax, we ensure the safe handling of all types of cargo and passengers. From new cars to containers/trucks to a wide variety of hazardous goods. Reliable on schedule, solution-oriented, safe and confident. We know all our ports like the back of our hand and know exactly how to proceed.
We have the right teams for every special requirement, even for spontaneous assignments. Tackling, mooring, unmooring, loading and unloading: We are present in all ports of the North Sea, the Baltic Sea and the Kiel Canal and can respond quickly around the clock when you need our help.
We ensure that your ships are moored at the berth on time and safely, and that they leave the berth just as punctually and safely. You can rely on us! In cooperation with ISC Training GmbH and Schifffahrtsschule Rostock we have developed the BOSIET training especially for our runner crews.
In order for import and export to run smoothly, customs must be passed safely and without complaint. We take over this task for you. From everyday cross-border goods traffic to mega projects such as the construction of a complete offshore wind farm. Thanks to our partner network, we can even offer this service in many parts of Europe and the EFTA countries.
Freight storage is a very central process in your logistics chain. It’s all about precise planning and control. This is exactly what we are your experienced partners for on the entire North Sea and Baltic Sea coast. We have the space and rooms you need to ensure the efficient and safe storage and movement of your goods (e.g. containers, trucks, etc.) and to bridge time gaps.
At our locations in Kiel and Brunsbüttel, we support you around the clock in saving distance, time and money. This is achieved by smooth transit through the Kiel Canal. We coordinate and monitor all processes for you. From pilotage and towing services to crew changes, cash-to-master payments, bunker operations, dangerous goods declarations and customs documents.
For almost all Hull & Machinery insurers and P&I Clubs we act as average agent and local correspondent. From this comprehensive network we find and arrange the ideal surveyor for every average case in the German North Sea and Baltic Sea area as well as in the Kiel Canal.
Our Car Service offers customised transport solutions for seafarers and ship crews to and from all German and Northern European ports. We coordinate crew changes in close cooperation with shipping companies and ships and offer airport transfers and VIP transport services. In addition, we take care of visa and official formalities, including visa applications at German embassies worldwide, and arrange ‘Ok to Board’. We also book comfortable hotel accommodation and organise medical appointments and seaworthiness examinations for the crews.
Our warehouse logistics offers you comprehensive solutions from a single source: from forwarding and professional warehousing to reliable customs clearance, ship deliveries and order picking. We ensure efficient packaging and on-time delivery to optimally support your logistics processes. You can rely on our service for smooth processes and top quality.
