The NSB Niederelbe shipping company mbH & Co. KG ( N iederelbe S chiffahrtsgesellschaft B uxtehude) is one of the largest German Bereederungsgesellschaften based in Buxtehude in Hamburg .
NSB, which was founded in 1982, still operated a fleet of 75 ship units with a carrying capacity of approx. 4.6 million tdw. Or approx. 331,000 TEU in September 2015. At the height of the business there were 116 units. In October 2017 there were only 64 ships left. The fleet is divided into container ships as well as some gas tankers , product tankers and offshore installation ships . These are mainly financed through ship funds from issuing houses such as CONTI, Gebab or Norddeutsche Vermögen. 45% of the NSB belongs to the Conti group of companies .
A large number of the ships have been chartered out to well-known major shipping companies on a long-term basis and operate under corresponding charter names. These include B. the largest German container ship, the CMA CGM Vela , the CMA CGM Hugo (when it was commissioned in 2004 with 8,221 TEU, the largest container ship in the world), the Ever Charming ( Evergreen Marine ), the Hanjin Baltimore ( Hanjin Shipping ), the MOL Wish ( Mitsui OSK Lines ), MSC Lausanne ( Mediterranean Shipping Company ), NYK Galaxy ( NYK Line ) and Conti Tianjin ( Pacific International Lines ). The well-known Cap Anamur was part of the fleet of ships managed by NSB . In addition, NSB manages the two RWE installation vessels of the Seabreeze class .
With the NSBacademy, NSB has its own training facility with simulators and the shipping company is one of the most important providers of freighter voyages .
In the summer of 2012, the NSB's MSC Flaminia caught fire in the Atlantic and was temporarily abandoned by the crew before it could be recovered and towed to Wilhelmshaven . After the cargo had been disposed of, the MSC Flaminia was repaired in 2014 at a shipyard in Denmark and a shipyard in Romania, it was given a new middle section, and a new bulbous bow and a new propeller reduced fuel consumption and thus increased efficiency.
In 2014 NSB employed an average of 1,841 seafarers . The founder Helmut Ponath held the German flag longer than most other shipowners. By June 2017, however, all 486 German seafarers were dismissed and the ships were flagged out .
