Marcrew Schiffahrts GmbH<br />
The first Company established in<br />
Germany as a representative office<br />
of <strong>Marlow</strong> <strong>Navigation</strong> Co. Ltd was<br />
Marserve Schiffahrts GmbH in 1991. In<br />
January 1996 Capt. Michael Spiewok became<br />
Managing Director and the company<br />
moved to its new premises at the<br />
Köhlbrandtreppe, right at the river Elbe,<br />
where it remained for more than 10 years.<br />
In 1999 the German tonnage tax system<br />
was implemented. To take advantage of<br />
the benefits of this fiscal incentive certain<br />
activities, including crew and technical<br />
management, have to be performed from<br />
Germany. For this reason and to be closer<br />
to our client base 1999 saw the establishment<br />
of Marcrew Schiffahrts GmbH. In<br />
2004 the scope of services was further expanded<br />
to include full and technical management,<br />
which is taken care of by the<br />
company <strong>Marlow</strong> Ship Management<br />
Deutschland GmbH & Co.KG.<br />

Frank Homann - Managing Director<br />
Frank Homann took over the management<br />
of Marcrew Schiffahrts GmbH in<br />
January of 2006, when Capt. Michael<br />
Spiewok retired. In 2007 the services previously<br />
offered by Marserve were taken<br />
over by Marcrew in the newly established<br />
Marcrew Agency Department.<br />
January 2006 also saw the number of office<br />
employees increasing to 22 persons,<br />
including two trainees.<br />
The Köhlbrandtreppe premises became<br />
too small for the fast growing activities of<br />
Marcrew.<br />
The management therefore decided to<br />
find a new office with more room to expand<br />
and in October 2006 new combined<br />
offices for Marcrew and <strong>Marlow</strong> Ship<br />
Management Deutschland GmbH & Co.<br />
KG were found located only a few hundred<br />
meters away only from its original<br />
location.<br />

services related to crew management.<br />
Our agency department offers a 24hrs<br />
