Chartering

Competition in the global charter market is very fierce. A fundamental prerequisite for successful chartering out in this market is technically reliable ships that can be used universally. Besides the quality of the tonnage, an acknowledged quality of service and the personal competence of the suppliers of charter tonnage as well as the most exact knowledge of the market make a crucial contribution to high customer satisfaction. To realistically visualise future developments and to use these as a basis for their own decisions is one of the most important tasks of the chartering team.

Fleet management

To maintain the value of the tonnage and to ensure the permanent operational capability of the vessels, intensive technical support for the fleet, planning of maintenance and efficient spare parts logistics are absolutely essential. Apart from the daily fleet management work, the tasks include wide-ranging classification activities and formalities related to the flag state within the framework of the certification procedures as well as systematic safety, quality and environmental management. All ships of the Hansa Mare fleet are certified to the ISM code (International Safety Management) and to the ISPS code (International Ship and Port Facility Security) by Germaischer Lloyd. National and international security regulations that are binding for shipping are constantly adapted or newly developed. The fleet management ensures prompt implementation of these regulations on board and in the shore organization and monitors compliance with them in line with safe and reliable ship operation.

Crewing

Ship operation only ever functions as good as its crew – therefore we invest a great deal of time and know-how in selecting, training and planning the deployment and composition of the international crews on our ships. Approx. 270 seamen are employed on the vessels in our fleet and we support these in collaboration with international crewing agencies. Systematic training and ongoing supplementary training of the personnel at sea – from the cadet to the captain – are an important prerequisite for safe operation of the ships. Regular training measures in quality management and environmental management in accordance to international safety and security regulations for the protection of the crew, ship, cargo and ports (ISM, ISPS, C-TPAT) are an integral part on board our ships.

Investor support

As an experienced shipping company, the Hansa Mare Reederei concentrates exclusively on the ship as a capital investment vehicle. Since the first ship was put into service in 1993, the Hansa Mare Reederei has steadily built up its fleet of modern container vessels ranging from 1,016 to 4,038 TEU. At the end of the year 2000, the fleet had grown to 20 ships with a total container carrying capacity of 56,873 TEU. A large part of the more than 3,700 private and institutional investors have repeatedly invested in our vessels. By the end of 2000, we at Hansa Mare were able to place almost EUR 391 million of shareholders' equity capital in the German investment market. In this context, substantial equity holdings of the shipping company itself document the high consensus of interests between the investors and the initiators of the vessels. By 2013 thirteen of the 20 ship projects have been sold and/or liquidated so that up to date investors of seven one-ship companies in the 4,000 TEU class are supported.
