The shipping company Heinrich Bischoff was founded in 1956 by Heinrich Christian Bischoff in Hamburg with headquarters in the Johannisbollwerk and closed in 1962 as part of a settlement procedure .
history
The shipowner Heinrich Christian Bischoff was born on January 16, 1907 in Schleswig and began training in shipping in Hamburg. In the 1930s he worked as a charterer for the Robert Bornhofen shipping company in Slomanhaus , where he was appointed authorized signatory. The Hamburg harbor ferry Finkenwärder , which was delivered to Hafen-Dampfschiffs AG by the A. Pahl shipyard in 1936, was taken over as a wreck by Bischoff and Bornhofen in 1948 and had it converted and expanded by the Elsflether shipyard into the Claus Bischoff coaster . 75% of the ship was renewed. In 1951, Bischoff and Bornhofen took over the St. Cerguere steamer, built in 1937, from a Swiss shipping company, which replaced the first ship and was also named Claus Bischoff . Bischoff was involved in the shipping company of this ship.

In 1956 Heinrich Christian Bischoff founded his own shipping company based in the Johannisbollwerk and took over the new Margaretha Bischoff building in December of the same year . It was the first new building of the Schichau shipyard , which had fled to Bremerhaven , which was originally ordered by a Norwegian shipping company. In 1957 the Nobiskrug shipyard delivered the new Erika Bischoff ( hull number 599) from a successful series to the young shipping company. Both ships were employed in the big voyage . In 1959 two more ships were taken over and renamed Marcus Bischoff (built in 1947) and Christina Bischoff (built in 1941) and mainly used in the European timber and paper trade.
Bad freight market
The demand for ships fell in the late 1950s and the freight market deteriorated rapidly. Ships were laid up and some shipping companies, such as Heinrich Bischoff, got into financial difficulties and had to sell. Bischoff's ships were sold as part of an orderly settlement procedure. The newbuildings Margaretha Bischoff and Erika Bischoff were taken over by the shipowner Hans Krüger, the Erika Bischoff was demolished in 1986 in Bombay and the Margaretha Bischoff in 1986 in Italy.
The former Christina Bischoff was sold to Italy for demolition and was to be towed from Tampa to La Spezia together with the Panama steamer Santa Anna . However, the towline of the Italian tug Cyclone broke in heavy weather about 40 nautical miles east of Palm Beach and the machote (ex- Christina Bischoff ) collided with another ship and sank.
