ABOUT US
360° Maritime Excellence
We are a family business, evolved from Reederei Eicke, which was founded in 1985.
We have grown since then. Nonetheless, we want to keep the family feel. For us, it means three things:
- short lines of communication – and, as a result, the ability to make decisions quickly and independently.
- the determination to excel in one segment – which is clearly defined and therefore controllable.
- a deep trust in the people who work with us – and a high sense of responsibility towards them.
This is what we understand by 360° Maritime Excellence: to display our expertise to the full. For our customers, investors and ships.
MANAGEMENT | TEAM
F&L Schifffahrt is managed by a well-rehearsed tandem with a proven separation of duties. The management draws on decades of experience in the respective field.

Why F&L Schifffahrt?
We are Hanseatic at heart,
so we treasure these values:
- Restraint: We know what we can do; and we can do what we know. We let our figures speak for themselves and explain the successes behind them. Gladly in a personal conversation.
- Entrepreneurship with prudence: Thanks to our experience, we keep a dynamic balance between innovation and staying grounded.
- Responsibility: For us, sustainability means constantly finding new ways to make our fleet more environmentally friendly and conserve resources. In our newbuilding projects, we care about the day after tomorrow.
