Profile

Serving the Industry for more than 39 Years

In the course of the past 39 years, the CONTI-Group has developed from a small entrepreneurial business to one of the top global players in the field of ship financing and operations.

Expanding international trade requires the introduction of increasingly comprehensive and more complex ship systems, entailing an increase in investment volume.

It was with this in mind that CONTI was founded in 1970 by five private entrepreneurs in Munich, Bavaria. The company was the first in modern times to bring together private capital for the off-balance-sheet financing of ships.

Over the past 39 years, CONTI has constantly adjusted its scope of activities to accommodate market needs. Strategic partnerships with Niederelbe Schiffahrtsgesellschaft Buxtehude (NSB) and Bremer Bereederungsgesellschaft (BBG) have been established in order to offer optimal technological and operational support in the handling of increasingly complex newbuilding projects.

Both companies, which have a worldwide reputation for outstanding technical know-how, efficiency and reliability, supervise shipbuilding projects and operate vessels on behalf of CONTI and third-party ship owners.

Today the CONTI-Group is one of the world`s biggest managing owners of ships with a clear focus on container vessels.

Still CONTI is committed to preserving the values of its founders which are:

• provision of first-class commercial and technical know-how,
• short reaction and decision-making times in responsing client needs,
• focus on long-standing and reliable relationships with business partners.
