A third-generation family business

Here at Niels Hankiewicz Chartering GmbH (NHC), we live and breathe shipping. Whether as a shipowner with a diverse fleet of vessels, in the global chartering of ships and cargo, or as a competent port service provider at the ports on the Weser and Elbe rivers. Our world is the oceans; our home is a restored tobacco warehouse in the former Europahafen in the Hanseatic city of Bremen.
