In August 2018, E R Schiffahrt & Rickmers Shipmanagement joined forces under the common new brand Zeaborn Ship Management.
In 2019, it expanded again when Claus-Peter Offen Tankschiffreederei (GmbH & Co.) KG (CPO Tankers) was renamed ZEABORN Ship Management Tanker GmbH & Cie. KG (ZEABORN Tankers) and started trading under its new name with effect from 4 November 2019.
ZEABORN Tankers operates as a legally independent company under the brand name ZEABORN Ship Management as well, thus expanding the company’s service portfolio to the wet market for oil and product tankers.
The combined, technically managed fleet of ZEABORN Ship Management currently comprises about 150 container and bulk cargo ships, multipurpose vessels and tankers.
The company employs around 300 people on shore and approximately 4,550 at sea, although just how the covid pandemic is affecting the operations of ZEABORN Ship Management, amongst others in the international shipping trade, will become clearer over the months ahead.
