HAMBURG/CUXHAVEN. On 5 November, BREB GmbH & Co. KG celebrated its 75th anniversary on a tour of the Port of Hamburg. Employees, business partners and colleagues from the shipping and logistics sectors were invited to the event on board the ‘MS Hammonia’. Captain Arne Ehlers, managing partner of the BREB Group, delivered the anniversary speech and gave an overview of the company’s history. Among other things, he referred to Wilhelm Eilemann and Bruno Bischoff, who founded the Bremen-based shipping company Eilemann & Bischoff on 24 October 1951 with a regular service to Norway, Sweden and Denmark, initially transporting cars, steel and timber, and later primarily pulp, paper and timber products. This laid the foundation for BREB, which today operates as an integrated shipping and logistics company comprising its own fleet, chartering, port handling, port agency services and logistics services. In his speech, Ehlers thanked charterers, shipowners, banks, insurers, shipbrokers and port agents, as well as his own team, saying: “Without you, we are nothing; with you, we can achieve any goal.”
