From its roots as a small German shipowner, the company has grown into one of the world’s leading dry bulk operators. With 4,000 employees from 60 countries, 18 offices and ten transshipment projects, Oldendorff Carriers can cater for any bulk transportation needs. Family ownership gives the company an edge over many of its competitors, who have a more anonymous shareholding structure. Profits are not paid out as dividends, but retained for future investments, so Oldendorff can pursue a long-term counter-cyclical strategy. Oldendorff Carriers is committed to sustaining the environment we live and work in, focusing on three major areas: operational excellence (safety and security), environmental responsibility and health (green ships) and social responsibility.
