Trust is the basis of success: right from the start, Reederei Harmstorf & Co. has placed great emphasis on caring for and developing long-term alliances. Many of the relationships with private investors, underwriters, ship financing banks, charterers and suppliers have existed since the early days of the company.

A good example of this philosophy is the smallest ship belonging to the fleet: MV Madeleine. Since March 2001, this ship has been chartered to the same Liner Operator and proved itself on its shipping route from Southern Florida to the west coast of South America, which has remained the same for all those years!

It's a people's business: from charterers through to suppliers, we know many of our partners personally. We have long-term trust-based relationships that ensure quick and trouble-free collaborations.
