Happy Birthday RHL! A chronicle of the last 5 years In the spring of 2006, the people who are RHL’s executive associates today got together with a closely allied ship-owner. The aim of this meeting was to found a ship-broking company, which was to specialise in the chartering, purchase and sale of container vessels. At that time, the shipping markets were flourishing, and spirits were high, even downright euphoric. On September 7 th 2006, the first office location of BCH BEFRACHTuNGSCONTOR HAM- BuRG was opened. Initially, it was in charge of brokering the contracting of three 5,100 TEu container ships (today’s RHL F-Class) for HHSI HANSA HAMBuRG SHIPPING IN- TERNATIONAL, and for arranging Chartering services for the 1,700 TEu A-Class vessels. After a few months of very successful business, it became apparent that, for structural reasons, an own shipping company needed to be established. This was the founding hour of HAMBuRGER LLOYD, and on june 11 th 2007, the foundation of RHL REEDE- REI HAMBuRGER LLOYD GmbH & CO KG was recorded in the Commercial Register of the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg. The young shipping company only had three and a half months to prepare for taking over its very first ship, M/V RHL AGI- LITAS. What was then only a small team successfully managed to make the business operable during this time, so that the vessel – which was still under construction under the name M/V WILHELM BuSCH – could be named M/V RHL AGILITAS by Mrs Bettina Pane on September 21 st 2007, and could start trading for Hapag-Llyod in their Asia-Services immediately after delivery. THE BRIDGE I No. 15 This was followed by the naming of M/V RHL AQuA by Mrs Waltraut Wilks on December 3 rd 2007. Shortly after, the 1,700 TEu ship – which had been built under the name of M/V THEODOR FONTANE – started into its initial charter at HAPAG LLOYD and traded in the Mexican West Coast/South America service. january 1 st 2008 saw the merger of BEFRACHTuNGSCONTOR HAMBuRG and HAMBuRGER LLOYD, and today’s circle of associates have been the owners of the
company ever since. Currently 22 employees control the operation and deployment of our container ship fleet, which will consist of fourteen units of altogether 485,556 tdw, or 39,719 TEu, as from the summer of 2012; 430 sailors are deployed on them on an alternating basis. A team of 10 shipbuilding experts is currently overseeing the construction of two further 4,600 TEu vessels – from the cutting of the first steel plate up to fully operational delivery – on jiangnan Shipyard in Shanghai, China.
