Company Overview

The HANSEATIC UNITY HANDYSIZE POOL is a global chartering platform run by a highly qualified international team with strategically located offices around the world ensuring intensive coverage of dry markets. Having shared the approach of investment into high specification tonnage and first class operations for decades, Reederei NORD and the Döhle Group, decided to set up a common commercial operator. Both owners contribute their entire fleet of 18 modern eco handy vessels (ranging) from 37.000 to 40.000 dwt to the Hanseatic Unity Handysize Pool (HUHP) which started trading on the 1st July 2018. Both founding partners are controlled by well-established traditional German ship owning families with long lasting roots in the shipping industry and significant experience in operating pools . Together both parties operate 15 pools including bulker, container and tanker pools.
