history

In 1808 Mathias Stinnes founded a company for shipping and coal trading. The activities are mainly limited to the Rhine and Ruhr . The "Hugo Stinnes GmbH" was founded in 1907 for the purpose of the coal trade on the coast, ship-related handling and the shipping company of Mathias Stinnes' grandson Hugo Stinnes. In 1917 Hugo Stinnes founded the "AG for shipping and overseas trade" in Hamburg. This company included the companies of Mathias Stinnes and Hugo Stinnes. From now on, all threads of Stinnes shipping interests and overseas trade came together in this AG . After the attempt to gain influence by taking over shares in established Hamburg shipping companies failed, Hugo Stinnes entered direct competition with the three large shipping companies HAPAG , Norddeutscher Lloyd and Hamburg Süd in 1920 . In 1921 Stinnes took part in the Ocean Line, founded in 1908 by the H. Schuldt shipping group, which was active in the liner service between Europe and Cuba and Mexico . Up until Hugo Stinnes' death in 1924, more than 30 ships under the Stinnes flag went in cooperation with smaller shipping companies, preferably to Central and South America and East Asia.

In 1926 the "Hugo Stinnes Corporation" was founded to raise American capital. All essential assets of the Stinnes family were brought into this. The family share in the assets of the "Hugo Stinnes Corporation" was confiscated by the USA in 1942 as enemy property. The "Hugo Stinnes Corporation" was auctioned and continued as "Hugo Stinnes Industries Inc." in New York. Excluded from “Hugo Stinnes Industries Inc.” due to American requirements, the Stinnes family started their own business in Germany in 1948. In 1950 Cläre Stinnes , widow of the founder Hugo Stinnes, and the sons Hugo and Otto Stinnes founded a new company, the "Hugo Stinnes fuel, iron and shipping company", branch Duisburg-Ruhrort . Otto Stinnes soon moved to Hamburg and took over the management of the Stinnes fleet with the company "Hugo Stinnes", Hamburg branch.

The "KG Monsun" founded in 1963 (a 100% subsidiary of the company "Hugo Stinnes", Hamburg branch) and the " Deutsche Seereederei Rostock GmbH " founded the shipping company "DSR / Stinnes West Indies Services GmbH" based in Hamburg in 1992. In 1998 the "DSR / Stinnes West Indies Services GmbH" became "H. Stinnes Linien GmbH "renamed. Deutsche Seereederei und Prescher Anlagenbau GmbH from Nienhagen acquired the remaining shares from the Stinnes family in 2002 and relocated the headquarters of "H. Stinnes Linien ”from Hamburg to Rostock. In 2008 the Deutsche Seereederei Rostock GmbH sold the activities of "Hugo Stinnes Linien GmbH" to "Stinnes Holding GmbH" founded by Jens Kroczek. This continues to this day the shipping activities under the name "Hugo Stinnes Schiffahrt GmbH".

Although it has not been owned by the Stinnes family for more than a decade, the company "Hugo Stinnes Schiffahrt" is today the only company that bears the Stinnes name and is still in one of the three original fields of activity of the Stinnes concept (coal extraction, iron and steel industry, shipping ) is working. In addition to a full container service to and from South Africa, Rostock-based “Hugo Stinnes Schiffahrt GmbH” specializes in the overseas transport of general cargo, heavy cargo and project cargo between Northern Europe, the Caribbean and Mexico; it thus continues the tradition of the 1921 Ocean Line.
