Zeaborn Ship Management is a third-party ship manager providing technical and commercial management for a diverse fleet of vessels. The company was founded in 2018 through the merger of E.R. Schiffahrt and Rickmers Shipmanagement. Based in Hamburg, Germany, with a significant presence in Singapore, the company manages container vessels, bulk carriers, multi-purpose vessels, and tankers.
The firm's services include technical management, crew management, commercial management, and ancillary offerings such as planning and construction supervision, and financial controlling. The business model focuses on providing comprehensive management services to ship owners, ensuring the safety, efficiency, and asset protection of their vessels. Clients are typically ship owners and investors in the maritime sector.
In December 2023, it was announced that Wilhelmsen Ship Management and MPC Capital would jointly acquire 100% of Zeaborn Ship Management, a transaction expected to close in the first quarter of 2024. This acquisition is set to integrate Zeaborn into the acquirers' existing ship management brands, Wilhelmsen Ahrenkiel and Barber, creating a larger management hub in Hamburg with over 150 vessels under technical supervision. The joint activities will be co-headed by Michael Brandhoff, who has been Zeaborn's Managing Director, and Dr. Michael Silies of MPC Capital.
