From 21 to 23 April, we held our crew seminar at Hotel Gut Matheshof in Bavaria and welcomed colleagues from both sea and shore, both in person and online. The seminar combined valuable management & company updates, contributions from colleagues ashore, external trainings, and interactive workshops from our service provider - creating space for open dialogue and hands-on learning. 💡

Just as important was the personal exchange: shared social activities and evenings together helped strengthen team spirit and connections beyond the professional program.

A heartfelt thank you to all speakers, trainers and especially to our Crew for their engagement and time! 🙏

Donation Handover for Tafel Amberg🤝
Tafel Deutschland e.V.

To ensure that essential food supplies continue to reach the people who need them most, the Tafel Amberg (Food Bank) urgently required a new transport vehicle.

Thanks to a generous donation from MINSHIP, represented by Jürgen W. Ruttmann and Markus Hiltl the vehicle’s acquisition costs can now be covered.

The official donation handover to Bernhard Saurenbach, Chairman of Tafel Amberg, took place on February 26, 2026, at Autohaus Widmann in Ebermannsdorf. This support enables the Tafel Amberg to continue its important work reliably.

Back in 2022, another substantial donation made it possible to build a garage as well as install a 10.5 kWp solar panel system and a 16 kWh storage unit.

We are delighted to once again support the organization at a regional level - for sustainable mobility and direct help where it is needed most. 💙

🌊 This is a warm goodbye to MV Marguerita – and a big shoutout to her crew.

On Monday, our Marguerita was handed over to her new owners. She left us exactly as she should: safe, shipshape, and ready for her next journey. That’s down to the people onboard – the engineers who kept her humming, the deck team who never missed a detail, the officers who steered with calm and precision, and every hand who showed up day after day.

To everyone disembarking today: enjoy your well earned vacation. You carried Marguerita with pride right to the finish line, and we couldn’t be more grateful.

As MINSHIP Group, we’re not slowing down. Our commitment to shipping is steady, and we’re working on growing the fleet – building on the same teamwork and care you’ve shown out at sea.

Fair winds and following seas, Marguerita. And to our crew – enjoy the time at home and see you after your well-deserved vacation.

✨ New year, new opportunities! ✨

This week our annual New Year's Reception gave us the opportunity to toast 2026 together. Managing Director Markus Hiltl addressed the entire workforce in his speech. Employees from various locations (Schnaittenbach, Hamburg, Isle of Wight and Sibiu) were participating both in person and virtually.

Markus Hiltl looked ahead with cautious optimism into 2026. Volatile global markets, changes in the managed fleet and amended work processes in the day-to-day business in combination of using AI, Power BI and new software offers opportunities to continue the company’s successful course as small and flexible ship manager and to acquire new business going forward.

Let’s go. 🥂

In Shipping, endurance matters.

Endurance is not just an advantage in our industry – it’s a key to success. Today, we proudly celebrate colleagues who have been with us for 5, 10, 35, and even 40 years.

Your experience, commitment, and loyalty are the foundation we build on every day. Thank you for staying the course – through calm waters and stormy seas. Here’s to many more years of achievements together! 🌟
