Globalisation is driving growth in the maritime industry. International sea transport is developing rapidly. German ports are facing huge challenges and linking the mainland logistically requires efficient networks.

HANSA PARTNER has actively accompanied the development of the maritime industry – especially shipping – for more than 75 years in the fields of tax consulting, auditing and management advice. Well-known shipping companies, shipping agencies and brokers value our expertise as advisors in the specialist field of shipping taxation. We also work for a large number of one-ship and multi-ship companies, closed ship funds and listed shipping companies. And of course for their owners as well.

 

Given our roots and many years of experience in the maritime cities of Hamburg and Rostock, port and logistics businesses and shipbuilding companies also regularly seek our advice.

Our expertise in the taxation of shipping companies is based on the long-standing experience that many of our employees and partners have in this area. We have also brought together our know-how in a comprehensive database on issues relating to shipping taxation. Our advice is marked by personal contact and is based on a long-term view. Good contacts to the legislator, tax authorities and the Association of German Shipping Companies also enable us to take early action to secure shipping profits.
