| The company was founded in 1956 by Peter Döhle as an Agent to Owners ("Vertrauensmakler") to conduct commercial services to coaster vessels' Owners including chartering, operation and accounting. |
|
|
|
| The services were rendered mainly for those customers who were working on board of their own ships and demanding an Agent ashore to look exclusively after their commercial affairs. |

|
| In the beginning only break-bulk, bulk and forest products were shipped , however already in the mid sixties the first smaller container feeder vessels were added in size of 40 TEUS transhipping the first containers coming into Europe and Scandinavia. |
|
|
|
| This was the basis for a development which lead into a diversified fleet of almost 200 vessels which are mainly container vessels, coasters and bulkcarriers upto Panamax size. Additionally a number of associated companies offer their customers multiple services from all fields of the shipping industry. |
