Claus-Peter Offen is planning the first listing on the US stock markets by a German shipowner.
The managing owner of Hamburg-based Reederei Claus-Peter Offen is “seriously investigating” an initial public offering (IPO) in order to maintain its position as a leading owner of containerships.
Speaking at Marine Money’s Hamburg forum, Offen said an IPO is one of a number of projects to attract capital from international finance markets made necessary by the demise of the German KG (limited partnership) sector.
