Seatrade is renowned as a leading ship manager. We specialise in reefer vessels. We also operate various other types of ships such as bulkers, ro-ro vessels, container vessels and yachts. We are responsible for well over one hundred ships worldwide, many directly owned by Seatrade, and others by third parties. Furthermore, we are a reliable partner in the supervision of newbuilding and conversion of vessels.
Seatrade, as we have been known since 1973, was established in 1951 by five captain-owners based in the city of Groningen. This city is situated in the Northern part of the Netherlands. The in-house chartering division was transferred to Seatrade Reefer Chartering in Curaçao with a branch office in Antwerp (Belgium) handling the commercial activities. After this reorganisation, the Seatrade Shipmanagement Group became an independent company focusing solely on the management of various types of vessels. In the year 2000, the Leer based company Triton Schiffahrts GmbH joined the Seatrade Shipmanagement Group. Within the Group, Triton specifically focuses on ship management for the German market.
