Albert Ballin Consortium

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Hamburgische Seefahrtsbeteiligung Albert Ballin GmbH und Co. KG , or Consortium Albert Ballin for short , was a Hamburg consortium - whose spiritus rector and negotiator was Wolfgang Peiner . The company, named in memory of Albert Ballin , was founded in 2008 to avoid selling the Hapag-Lloyd shipping company to a foreign investor. As agreed, the consortium was dissolved again at the end of September 2013.

The participation structure in the consortium comprised six investors in July 2009. The largest shareholder was the Hanseatic City of Hamburg with 40.67%, while the largest private-sector investor, Klaus-Michael Kühne , held 26.55% in the consortium. The remaining shares were held by the insurance company Iduna Vereinigte Lebensversicherung with 12.61% and Hansemerkur with 3.36%, while the two banks HSH Nordbank and MMWarburg each claimed 8.4%. Overall, the consortium held 77.96% of Hapag-Lloyd and was therefore the majority shareholder compared to the other shareholder, TUI .
