FANZL to become Hamburg Sud

As of January 1, 2008, the Hamburg Sud shipping group will be replacing its brand "FANZL Fesco Australia New Zealand Liner Services" with the Hamburg Sud brand. The FANZL office in Seattle will from then on be assuming responsibility for Hamburg Sud's customer activities on the US West Coast as a Customer Service Center.

Hamburg Sud took over the cross trade operations of Fesco Ocean Management Limited (FOML) between Australia/New Zealand, Asia and North America respectively as recently as July 2006 and successfully integrated them into the shipping group under the brand name FANZL.

Hamburg Sud seeks to interlink all its operations as closely as possible in order to exploit synergies and as a result achieve added value for its customers in its services. The change of name is taking place with the assurance of absolute continuity: contact partners, address, telephone and fax numbers remain the same.
