Hamburg Süd is a shipping line on the North-South ocean trade routes. It is part of the Oetker Group, a family-owned German conglomerate.〔(Career Training & Internships at Hamburg Süd )〕 ==History== In 1871 ''Hamburg Südamerikanische Dampfschifffahrts-Gesellschaft'' 〔The triple f is correct; it is from a misspelling in the company's original registration in Germany.〕 (Hamburg - South America Steamship Company or Hamburg South America Line) was established by a conglomerate of 11 Hamburg-based merchant houses. Three steam-ships of 4,000 GRT (Gross Registered Tons) capacity began sailing to Brazil and Argentina in a monthly shipping service. By 1914 the company was operating over 50 ships totaling approximately 325,000 GRT. World War I culminated in the loss of all Hamburg Süd's vessels, and the company was forced to begin again by chartering vessels. The early 1950s saw the company embark on tramp shipping and tanker shipping, and large growth of refrigerated cargoes. In 1955 the Dr. August Oetker company took the company over, and began rapid expansion of the liner and passenger services. The takeover of Deutsche Levante Linie in 1956 saw the company commence its first foray into the Mediterranean. 1957 saw liner services begin between North America and Australia/New Zealand, with the ''Columbus New Zealand'' being the first container ship to ply trade-lanes in the region in 1971, pioneering containerization in the Pacific. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hamburg Süd」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
