Bavaria meets
Hamburg

MINSHIP group is a well established company with a focus on all aspects of shipmanagement. With Headquarters in Schnaittenbach, Bavaria, we have been involved in bulk carriers for many years.

Offering a highly experienced commercial team, we take great pride in providing long term management and logistical solutions for both our vessel owner and cargo trading clients.

Our in-house subsidiary MINMARINE works closely with the commercial department and takes great care of the technical, crewing management and the nautical operation of the ships.

In 2021 we have integrated MINMARINE MPP formerly known as Auerbach MARINE into the group, a Hamburg-based technical manager for heavy-lift and MPP vessels with expertise grown for more than a decade.

MINSHIP is a transparent and cooperative service provider and, as a medium-sized company, is able to respond specifically to customer wishes – and yet, with its fleetsize, ensure permanent and reliable operations.

Our
History

The history of MINSHIP’s predecessor companies
dates back to 1985. In its current form, MINSHIP – since 2017 – has provided full ship management including

– commercial
– crewing
– technical

but also international freight forwarding services. Via affiliated companies, the group moreover is able to provide services in short sea trade, tanker brokerage and the ship agency sector. Additionally, accounting services are provided to our customers, ranging from bookkeeping to complete prospectus approval with financial market authorities.

In 2023, a total of about three million tons of cargo were carried by the currently managed fleet of Handysize vessels, ranging from 28,000 to 40,000 dwat per vessel.

With Markus Hiltl and Arne Seesemann at the helm as Managing Directors of MINSHIP Shipmanagement GmbH & Co. KG and his experienced team a first class ship management service is continuously safeguarded. The Group is responsible for the management of a broad range of vessels (details see FLEET) owned and controlled by a wide variety of third-party shareholders from Europe, Asia and the Americas.
