Synergy Marine Germany GmbH, a subsidiary of Captain Rajesh Unni’s Singapore-based Synergy Group, has signed an agreement that will see it manage part of the bulk carrier fleet owned by Germany’s Oldendorff Carriers.

The contract with Synergy Group will start with the full technical management of 17 Oldendorff bulk carriers: nine post-panamax vessels and eight “babycapes.”

Synergy Group will provide full technical management services including the deployment of its innovative digital shipping platform, which ensures the real-time deployment of data to maximize operational efficiency, performance optimization and vessel profitability.

The Future of Shipping

“When we place our vessels with a third-party manager we only do so when we are confident they will deliver the benchmarked technical excellence that both Oldendorff and our customers expect,” said Dexter Jeremiah, managing director operations at Oldendorff Carriers, adding that, “as we look ahead to the challenges facing shipping including decarbonization and how to best implement the latest technology as shipping digitalizes, we know Synergy will also be a fantastic technical thought partner.”

“Oldendorff Carriers is one of the great names of global shipping and we are honored to be entrusted with the management of part of their fleet,” said Unni.

Synergy Group now has a diversified maritime fleet under management of over 500 vessels. Its footprint comprises a network of 25 offices in 13 countries, and the group employs more than 18,000 seafarers.
