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<br />

Marcrew Schiffahrt offers a variety of<br />

services related to crew management.<br />

Our agency department offers a 24hrs<br />

service to all vessels managed by the <strong>Marlow</strong><br />

Group of Companies. This service<br />

includes all activities to make sure a seaman<br />

employed by <strong>Marlow</strong> <strong>Navigation</strong><br />

worldwide will safely embark or disembark<br />

his designated vessel in Germany.<br />
