Hot on the heels of establishing an office in Hamburg Synergy Group has bagged management of 17 dry bulk vessels from Oldendorff Carriers.

The contract sees Synergy taking over full technical management of nine post-panamax dry bulk carriers and eight baby-capes from Oldendorff.

Dexter Jeremiah, Managing Director Operations of Oldendorff Carriers, commented: “When we place our vessels with a third-party manager we only do so when we are confident they will deliver the benchmarked technical excellence that both Oldendorff and our customers expect.

“As we look ahead to the challenges facing shipping including decarbonisation and how to best implement the latest technology as shipping digitalises, we know Synergy will also be a fantastic technical thought partner,” he added.

The contract comes weeks after Synergy officially opened its 25th office in Hamburg. The company has offices in 13 countries with and employs over 18,000 seafarers.

Capt Rajesh Unni, Founder and CEO of Synergy Group, said, “Oldendorff Carriers is one of the great names of global shipping and we are honoured to be entrusted with the management of part of their fleet.”
