About 200 years of tradition and experience in the
Port of Hamburg
Petersen & Alpers shipping company is
the oldest family-owned and run service enterprise in the
port of Hamburg. The company was founded on 6th September
1793 and has been involved in shipping and the mercantile
community for more than 200 years. With the founding, Michael
Christian Petersen took the citizen’s oath as a Master
Mariner. In 1818, his son Johann Michael led the company into
its next generation and working together with Andreas Heinrich
Alpers, he made an impact in the port of Hamburg. Then in
its third generation, Jan Petersen founded the offices of
Petersen & Alpers in 1859 which he entered into the commercial
register in 1877. Jan Petersen ordered the shipping company’s
first own tugboat in 1879 - the "Petersen & Alpers"
with 170 HP. |
