Jebsen Shipping Partners in Germany has been selected to provide technical management for the first two Bengalmax containership newbuildings in the fleet of Bertram Rickmers' Asian Spirit Steamship Co (ASSC).
It is understood the Jork-based company tied up the contract in competition with several large international managers, as well as medium and smaller-size outfits.
MarLink Project Management joint managing director Christoph Sturm declined to comment on talk in the shipmanagement market and no one was available at Jebsen Shipping to discuss the deal, including whether it had been formally signed.
