The son of Bertram Rickmers is involved in a new company being set up to handle the chartering of eight feeder containerships ordered in China.
Clasen Rickmers is one of three executives behind the Hamburg-based venture, which will be responsible for the 1,162-teu Bengalmax newbuildings booked at Fujian Mawei Shipbuilding.
The ships were ordered by Germany’s MarLink Project Management but are destined for Bertram Rickmers’ privately owned Asian Spirit Steamship Co (ASSC).
