Germany has weathered a decade-long crisis to remain a dominant force in the containership sector.
It retains influence thanks to a handful of chartering entities that are jointly responsible for commercial control of almost 900 ships. Lumped together, shipbrokers — including Blue Net Chartering, Hanseatic Unity Chartering, Harper Petersen, Arkon Allied Container and Ernst Russ Shipbroker — are working to ensure that Hamburg remains the market's centre of activity.
