Just under six months later, in March 1965, the first ship left the Port of Emden for the US with 1,350 VW Beetles on board. \u201cThis successful partnership has continued to this day and developed into our most important mainstay,\u201d says Jan Remmers, Managing Director of Anker Schiffahrt.<\/p>\n
Anker Schiffahrt has managed to expand its range of services gradually over the years. The first shipment of pulp was dispatched from Kotka, Finland, to Emden for the customer UPM-Kymmene in 1983, and then in 1993 a decision was made to relocate all Finish transport of pulp, paper rolls and timber to Ostfriesland\u2019s largest city. With this step, the maritime service provider created the foundation for its second mainstay and was therefore \u201cout of the woods\u201d \u2013 figuratively speaking, of course. Maritime services now round off Anker Schiffahrt\u2019s extensive range and include clearance, stowage, the handling of ro-ro and project cargo, trimodal on-carriage and comprehensive logistics concepts.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s no need to reinvent the wheel. Sometimes it\u2019s also good to take advantage of your existing expertise and invest in modernisation and your employees\u2019 capacities,\u201d explains Jan Remmers. To corroborate the second part of his statement, he mentions the most recent activities of the company managed by the Conrad family in Bremen. For example, Anker Schiffahrt expanded its lorry loading station for vehicle transporter loading and unloading to double the size and built a modern terminal in 2021. A new staff building was inaugurated in Emden in May 2023, which was followed by completion of a new office in May 2024, built on the foundation of the old building from 1966. <\/p>\n
Like the close collaboration with Volkswagen and UPM-Kymmene, further strategic partnerships and alliances form key elements of Anker Schiffahrt\u2019s continuous focus on market needs. For example, Autoport Emden GmbH was founded in cooperation with Volkswagen Logistics and two other shareholders in 1987. This joint venture has since imported and exported well over 20 million vehicles through the Port of Emden. There has also been a close partnership with Peter W. Lampke (PWL) and MEYER WERFT in Papenburg for many years. Another name was added to this list in late 2023, namely STE Stevedoring and Terminal Emden, a joint venture between Anker Schiffahrt and Ems Ports Agency and Stevedoring (epas). The two shareholders now pool their expertise: the first in the automotive industry and forestry products and the latter in onshore\/offshore and hazardous goods logistics. Both companies will independently continue their core activities in full but, together, will also provide other companies with a wide range of services and options as part of a comprehensive package. Remmers and the two Anker Schiffahrt Authorised Officers, S\u00f6nke Kempe and Tilo Hoff, are in agreement: \u201cWe work together as a team here. All these forward-looking steps are essential for maintaining our position as a leading logistics provider in the region and as a key member of a global logistics group\u201d.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ module_class=”dtb-sticky” _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ background_image=”https:\/\/www.logistics-pilot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/DSC_0211-c-Anker-Schiffahrt_1920.jpg” parallax=”on” custom_padding=”300px||600px||false|false” custom_padding_tablet=”” custom_padding_phone=”150px||150px||false|false” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” alt=”F\u00fcnf scheinbar unendliche Reihen neuer Automobile, die auf die Verladung auf ein Schiff warten” title_text=”DSC_0211—c—Anker-Schiffahrt_1920″ sticky_enabled=”0″][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.17.6″ custom_margin=”30px||||false|false” custom_padding=”0px||0px|||” bottom_divider_style=”waves2″ bottom_divider_color=”#DFE6EE” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_row column_structure=”2_3,1_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”0px|||||” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column type=”2_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ text_font=”roboto-regular||||||||” text_text_color=”#003a7c” custom_margin=”||25px||false|false” custom_margin_tablet=”||15px||false|false” custom_margin_phone=”” custom_margin_last_edited=”on|tablet” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]Double the activity: whilst vehicles are waiting to be loaded in the foreground, a ship is delivering pulp from South America in the background.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n
Despite all the current issues in the German automotive market in general and at Volkswagen in particular, Remmers and his colleagues radiate a certain degree of calm. \u201cIn 2024, we transshipped 1.2 million vehicles in import and export through Autoport. And based on the current findings, we don\u2019t expect these volumes to collapse, which VW corroborated, based on the most recent volume forecasts,\u201d says Kempe.<\/p>\n
And not even the idea of handling forestry products can add to the worry lines on the faces of those in charge. \u201cPaper and pulp will always be transported, even if many companies have declared themselves to be a paperless office,\u201d says Hoff confi-dently. The reason for that, he suggests, is that both products are \u201csustainable all-rounders\u201d and can be used not only for printed products and boxes, but also, for example, in hygiene products, textiles and car filters. A few weeks ago, the contract with UPM-Kymmene on the handling of forestry products was extended for another three years \u2013 until the end of 2027 \u2013 which is also a perfect fit for the Anker Schiffahrt concept. In addition, contracts were concluded with another pulp supplier in South America. And just in case one of the two mainstays weakens more than expected after all, Anker Schiffahrt has a few more maritime aces up its sleeve, thanks to its diversification and wide range of port services.
