Founded in Hamburg in 1950, we have unwaveringly striven to become a reliable provider of international maritime transportation and, in doing so, have always maintained our entrepreneurial independence and flexibility. Today there are more than 15 companies under the Ahrenkiel Group umbrella. Strategically oriented investments and partnerships have greatly increased our range of operations and boosted our growth. Significant investments in human and material resources reflect the responsibility we feel towards our customers, workforce and the environment.

As a state-of-the-art shipping company, we also place great emphasis on Hanseatic traditions and virtues such as entrepreneurial spirit, reliability and intrinsic value. Diligence, quality and safety are top priority for us.

The Ahrenkiel Group is active in three business areas:
