CPO Genova of the shipping company Offen

The Offen Group is a German shipping company based in Hamburg . The company was founded in 1971 by Claus-Peter Offen as the shipping company Claus-Peter Offen GmbH & Co. KG. Claus-Peter Offen is the youngest son of the Hamburg shipowner Emil Offen .

The shipping company operates a modern container ship fleet (1,800 to 14,000 TEU ) with over 50 ships. This also includes the CPO Italy class , seven identical Superpostpanmax full container ships with a capacity of 14,000 TEU each.

The shipping company takes care of the technical, operational and commercial management as well as the manning of the ships.

history

The shipping company Claus-Peter Offen GmbH & Co KG was founded on June 9, 1971. While the shipping company used to be a client of the German shipyard industry , today the ships are mainly built in South Korea at shipyards such as Hyundai Heavy Industries in Ulsan, Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering in Busan or Samsung Heavy Industries in Koje.

Since 2007, the company has also been involved in chemical and product tankers as well as bulk shipping . The shipping company operated, among other things, eight special tankers à 36,000  dwt and eight special tankers à 52,000 dwt, in addition to four bulk carriers of the Capesize class.

In 2015, the shipping company Claus-Peter Offen was restructured into the "Offen Group" in preparation for new business areas on the international capital market. The shipping company Claus-Peter Offen became the "CPO Containerschiffreederei". The Offen Group now includes the Claus-Peter Offen Tankschiffreederei, Claus-Peter Offen Bulkschiffreederei, CPO Containerschiffreederei and CPO Crewing.

In March 2017, the shipping company Claus-Peter Offen took over the Munich-based Conti Group, including its shares in Bremer Bereederungsgesellschaft. The shares held by the Conti group of companies in the Buxtehude-based NSB Niederelbe Schiffahrtsgesellschaft are not affected by the takeover .

At the end of April 2019, Offen sold its tank division to the Bremen-based Zeaborn Group . With the sale of Claus-Peter Offen Tankschiffreederei (CPO Tankers) , the group wants to focus entirely on owning and operating container ships in the post-Panamax category, according to DVZ .
