Hamburg shipmanager and owner Chemikalien Seetransport (CST) has steadily expanded the size of its fleet as it rebuilds toward its half-century celebrations.
The growth follows a period of retrenchment after the global financial crisis and the demise of the KG (limited partnership) system, which severely affected most German managers.
On 22 August, CST celebrated its 50th anniversary with a party for current and former colleagues at Hamburg’s International Maritime Museum.
