Thome Group forms a joint venture with Carsten Rehder

The new company will take over the ship management of Carsten Rehder's owned and managed fleet

Singapore ship manager Thome Group is forming a joint venture with German owner Carsten Rehder called Thome Shipmanagement Germany, according to Splash 247.

Under the agreement, a new company will be set up to take over the ship management of Carsten Rehder's owned and managed fleet of mainly dry bulk, container and multipurpose vessels.

ÔÇ£Entering into this collaboration with the Thome Group makes sense as the German and international shipping markets have changed over the last 10 years. For German shipowners, third party ship management services have become a more important part of the business. So, we decided that the time was right to integrate our ship management into a larger third-party ship manager.ÔÇØ, commented Thomas Rehder, managing director at Carsten Rehder.
