ER Group to revive the Blue Star brand
Erck Rickmers ER Group is set to revive the Blue Star brand as an institutional investment vehicle.

ER Group said that as of 2018 Blue Star Group would develop opportunities for institutional investors. The German owner bought the 109-year old Blue Star brand in 2012.

Blue Star will be led by ceo Christoph Geck-Schlich with ER Group putting in an “mid-double-digit million” amount to the development of new projects. The company will initially focus on the shipping and logistics sectors.
