Trasporti marittimi - Germania: libri illustrati di storia e guide

175 Jahre Hapag-Lloyd / 175 Years of hapag-Lloyd

For over a century, the Hamburg-Amerikanische Packetfahrt-Actien-Gesellschaft, founded in Hamburg in 1847, and the Norddeutsche Lloyd, a decade younger and based in Bremen, were fierce competitors, cooperating only when absolutely necessary.
Both rival shipping companies gained global prominence, constructing the largest freighters and fastest passenger steamers, dominating the emigration business, and pioneering the cruise industry. Despite losing their entire fleets in two world wars, they rebuilt, each time larger and more efficient than before. In the late 1960s, facing escalating investments due to the global rise of containerization, Hamburg and Bremen realized the need to merge Hapag and Lloyd.

Today, the Hapag-Lloyd AG, established in 1970, stands among the world's leading liner shipping companies with a fleet of 250 container ships, an annual transport volume of twelve million TEUs, and over 13,000 employees in 129 countries. The commitment of "Number One for Quality" ensures Hapag-Lloyd's position as a profitable global player. This book narrates the captivating history of the company from its founding in 1847 to its jubilee in 2022.

Deutsche Forschungsschiffe - seit 1905 (Typenkompass)

We still know relatively little about the oceans, the largest of all habitats. In order to be able to explore the seas, modern research ships with appropriate scientific equipment are necessary.
They represent scientific laboratories at sea and take on tasks in a wide variety of disciplines and fields, such as ice and polar research, geology, oceanography, marine biology or in the field of shipbuilding and fisheries science.

Hans Karr presents the most important German research ships that have been or are in use since 1905.

Fähr- und Fahrgastschifffahrt an Deutschlands Küsten

NUOVO

From Amrum to Borkum and from Helgoland to Hiddensee, ferry and passenger ships along Germany's coasts carry almost ten million people each year. Without these links, island life would be hardly possible. Supported by many previously unpublished photographs,

This book offers a clear overview of the development of German ferry and passenger shipping. It covers economic importance, operating conditions, and technical progress, while also highlighting typical features such as the well-known duty-free trips that shaped Baltic Sea services for decades.

Author Frederik Erdmann, a recognized expert, provides new insights into current operations, focuses on lesser-known routes and vessels, and brings the history of coastal passenger shipping back to life. A selected list of sources points to rare regional publications.

Hatra Baumaschinen und Schiffe

From a small locksmith shop emerged, starting in 1919, a successful shipbuilding company and a large construction equipment factory: Hatra!
After World War II, Hans Hagelstein led his company to the forefront of the German construction machinery industry. The legendary Kemna road rollers, award-winning construction machines, and state-of-the-art hydraulic excavators defined construction sites worldwide for nearly 30 years.
For over a decade, shipbuilding also dominated in Travemünde, producing numerous new vessels for the world's oceans. In addition to sea vessels, Hatra sport boats were part of the incredibly diverse production program of the once most lucrative company in Schleswig-Holstein, employing over 1,000 people.

Beyond a comprehensive historical overview of the company, the book meticulously describes the ships and all Hatra construction machinery in technical detail. It also sheds light on various historical contexts and extraordinary events throughout the company's history.

Twins: SK 36 SK 37 - Zwei neue Kreuzer für die Seenotretter

In 1985, the 27.5-meter sea rescue cruisers "Berlin" and "Hermann Helms" of the German Society for the Rescue of Shipwrecked People (DGzRS) were put into service. After 32 years of hard service and more than 6 000 missions, they were replaced in 2017 by two modern 28-meter newbuilds, the new "Berlin" and the "Anneliese Kramer". The fact that two rescue cruisers were built in one shipyard almost simultaneously was an absolute first.

The renowned author, book designer and maritime photographer Peter Neumann accompanied the project with his camera. This book lets the reader experience the development, construction and commissioning of the latest sea rescue cruisers up close on 172 pages and in more than 220 spectacular images. Images and texts take the interested layperson on a production journey worth seeing and also offer the expert fun with a demanding project.

The new "Berlin" and the "Anneliese Kramer" represent the pinnacle of development in the more than 150-year history of organized sea rescue, which began in 1865 with simple rowing lifeboats and bulky cork life jackets.
The two ships are now sailing on the North Sea and Baltic Sea to help people in distress at sea. Every year, the DGzRS records more than 2 000 missions and has rescued more than 84 000 people since its founding.
