Reederei John T. Essberger

Since its foundation 100 years ago, the John T. Essberger shipping company has been a family business. The company first made itself a name as a pioneer in tanker shipping. Later, general cargo and container services to West, East and South Africa were added. Including insights into the business and private life of three generations of this Hamburg shipping family, this book tells how a tradition-conscious medium-sized shipping company holds its own in a globalized modern world.
