Hamburg Süd
Encyclopedia : H : HA : HAM : Hamburg Süd
Hamburg Süd is one of the key carriers on the North-South trade routes by ocean transportation, founded in 1871. It is part of the Oetker Group, a family owned German conglomerate.
Hamburg Sud also owns Brazilian operator Alianca and Spanish operator Ybarra Sud. It has taken over many companies over the years including Ellerman, Kien Hung, South Seas Steamship, Deutsche-Nah-Ost-Linie, Royal Mail Line, The Pacific Steam Navigation Company, Swedish Laser Lines, Rotterdam Zuid-America Lijn (RZAL), Havenlijn and the Inter-America services of Crowley American Transport. In the past Hamburg Sud has been known as Columbus Line. The current container fleet of dry boxes has a distinctive red color with a huge flag and white HAMBURG SUD logo on the side. The refrigerated boxes are white with the flag and navy blue lettering. The Hamburg Sud container livery is very bold in an age of increasingly bland container liveries.
