Mr. Udo Wiese, Managing Director of the H. Vogemann group comments: With ABG we have joined forces with a first class shipyard. Not least because of the excellent cooperation and their expertise we are already considering further new building projects with our friends from India. In view of our very positive market outlook especially in the Handysize segment we are constantly looking for opportunities for further fleet expansion. Along with our newbuilding program with Namura, GSI and now ABG we continue our activities in the second hand market.
H. Vogemann, established in Hamburg since 1886 currently controls a modern young drybulk fleet of 6 Capsize, 7 Panamax and 6 Handysizevessels with a total capacity of over 1.5million mt deadweight.
