Leonhardt & Blumberg
Our customers’ well-diversified portfolio of tankers, bulkers, containers and carriers is becoming increasingly rejuvenated, thus enabling an improved carbon footprint for both sides. One third of the markets are in Greece, one quarter in Germany and the rest within the EU and UK. Only just under 10% in other regions.
Leonhardt & Blumberg and HCOB, both from Hamburg – that connects
Founded in 1903 and a long-standing partner, the traditional shipping company operates a fleet of around 40 ships. For its container feeder ships and medium range product tankers, all areas are covered: newbuilding, financing, nautical-technical ship management, chartering and crewing.
Project details
The USD 40 million financing was used to refinance two existing ships that are ten and twelve years old. The well-chartered units have a loading capacity of 3,600 or 2,800 full 20-foot standard containers (Twenty-foot Equivalent Unit, TEU). This refinancing enabled the shipping company to expand its business activities to tanker shipping and initiate a diversification of its fleet.
