Bernhard Schulte Shipmanagement (Cyprus) Ltd., formerly Hanseatic Shipping Co. Ltd., was founded on the island of Cyprus in 1972. Cyprus was chosen because of the high level of education amongst the population, the efficient communication systems already in place and its strategic geographic location.

Our Cyprus Service Delivery Centre initially offered crew management services, which soon evolved and upscaled into providing both full service and technical management to our clients. Being the first offshore shipmanagement company on the island, Bernhard Schulte Shipmanagement (Cyprus) Ltd. has been instrumental in helping Cyprus become one of the leading shipmanagement centres in the world.
