Österreichischer Lloyd ‘now an owner’
ÖL has revealed that it no longer wishes to be considered in the first instance as a third party shipmanager following its strong and steady evolution into a healthy shipowning entity.
Consequently, with the effect of 02nd July, 2008, the name of the company was changed to
Österreichischer Lloyd Seereederei

| Managing Partner Mag. Hans-Georg Wurmböck | CEO / Managing Partner Dipl.-Naut./Capt. Eberhard Koch |
Under the leadership of the two company founders, Mag. Hans-Georg Wurmböck and Capt. Eberhard Koch, a fleet of 13 modern container and multipurpose vessels will be managed with an average age of 4.8 years.
The Austria & Cyprus based companies have seen a robust increase in their shipowning activity in the last two years and for their size, have a complimenting proud order book.
ÖL’s policy is to recruit crew via its part owned crewing company MED CREW LTD., Malta.
Quality management demands qualified crew. All our officers and ratings are highly experienced, properly trained and in possession of all necessary national and international licenses and certificates. We take great care in selecting our crew, the majority of whom have long service records within our fleet.
For the smooth running of the ships, the quality of the personnel is the decisive factor and as a consequence, the standard of the ship. To the latter, our particular attention has been drawn.
Ship owners requiring full management & crew management are still welcome to contact us in order to define if our resources match their needs.
