“Our international customers will immediately benefit from even greater flexibility and reliability, as well as interesting economies of scale in the area of purchasing.”

Zeaborn Group managing partners Ove Meyer and Jan-Hendrik Többe said: “Two established and experienced partners have pooled their strengths.

“Their cultural heritage, their well-managed fleets and their organisational structures go exceedingly well together and complement one another perfectly.

“Our international customers will immediately benefit from even greater flexibility and reliability, as well as interesting economies of scale in the area of purchasing, for example. At the same time, the course has been set for dynamic growth.”

Established in 2013, Zeaborn Group is an integrated shipping company that offers services along with the entire value-added chain to fulfil capital market requirements.

In May, the company signed a joint venture (JV) agreement with Intermarine parent company Maritime Holdings Delaware.

The JV, which is subject to antitrust clearance, will see the consolidation of vessel fleets, staff, and the global network of customers and offices of both the companies.
