details
Today's shipping company goes back to Captain Hermann Schöning and his brothers Johann and Otto. Hermann Schöning initially operated Holzpünten and had his first steel ship built in the Netherlands in 1910 , the Anna Thekla . The three brothers of the following generation, Josef, Johann and Lübbert Schöning, also operated several coastal ships in the North and Baltic Seas. In 1968, in the third generation, Hermann Schöning founded the Intersee Schiffahrtsgesellschaft , with which the Schöning fleet was further expanded. From 1970 to 1991, 32 new buildings were commissioned by Intersee and the Dutch subsidiary Noordlijn BV. In 1994/95 the shipping company was restructured and Josef Schöning, the eldest son of Christel and Hermann Schöning, took over management.
On December 16, 2002, the Intersee freighter Nicola ran aground on the wreck of the Tricolor car transporter , which sank in the English Channel . The Nicola was destined to be on a ballast voyage to Rotterdam and after several hours she could be pulled down from the wreck by two tugs.
In May 2009 the intersea ship Victoria was kidnapped by Somali pirates and released in July.
In the course of the shipping crisis, which has persisted since 2008, the Intersee fleet shrank. In 2014, seven ships of the shipping company were foreclosed and in 2015 21 ships were sold. In the same year the company merged with the newly founded AGI Befrachtungsgesellschaft mbH & Co. KG and the headquarters were relocated to Münster.
Today (as of May 1, 2019) the shipping company operates a fleet of four ships. In addition, the company also works in chartering and shipping.
