The new company will be named Thome Shipmanagement Germany and the two companies will act as the shareholders.

Carsten Rehder managing director Thomas Rehder said: “Entering into this collaboration with the Thome Group makes sense as the German and international shipping markets have changed over the last ten years.

“For German shipowners, third-party ship management services have become a more important part of the business. So, we decided that the time was right to integrate our ship management into a larger third-party ship manager.

“Carsten Rehder’s focus on container and MPP business in addition to bulk will complement this profile, especially for European markets. The cooperation with Thome will strengthen our activities.”
