Fancy some shipping merch? Hamburg Sud opens online store

bf3e3b7a36510a59fe7b292ee946173b
As container shipping again endures tough times and low freight rates Hamburg Sud would appear to be seeking new revenue streams and has taken to selling its own merchandise online.

For ship spotting fans of Hamburg Sud's vibrant red livery who have not been able to get customised merchandise that until now has only been available to customers, employees and trade fairs, or someone who simply wants more of it, you can now buy at an online store on the company's website.

The company said the webstore would initially offer products that had proved “especially popular”. These include white cooler bags that look like reefers, red notepads in the shape of a container, calendars with shipping-related photographs, and books on the company's history.

So if you fancy buying yourself or loved ones a USB stick in the shape of a containership, a power bank for recharging smartphones and tablets, or baseball caps with the Hamburg Sud brand head on over to the company's new webshop.
