OUR HISTORY
Shipbrokers since 1974
Toepfer Transport is an established shipbroker located in Hamburg, Germany. The company was founded in 1974 by the late Mr. Heinrich A. Toepfer after he left his father’s grain and shipping business Alfred C. Toepfer. The company began as a pure dry cargo broker and then branched out into container chartering in the 80‘s, including being a founding member of Senator Line.
In the 90’s besides the chartering activities, particularly S&P and Newbuilding activities increased and over 100 newbuildings have been placed since. In December 1999 Mr. Clemens Toepfer joined the company and became managing director in 2001. In January 2014 Mr. Hannes Holländer became partner. Today Toepfer Transport is one of the largest S&P brokers in Hamburg with offices in Singapore and Shanghai.

OUR MARKET RESEARCH
To support and assist the decision making process of our clients, Market Research is essential.
Until 2015, the market research was done as a team amongst the Brokers that focus on a specific segment. To professionalize our market research, in 2015 we decided to establish a dedicated research department.
Particular focus here is placed on the MPP/Heavylift market where available research was seldom and often inaccurate. After thorough research and support from estab-
lished market participants, we issued our first quarterly MPP report in May 2016.
We have also established a MPP Index for the popular E/F Type (MPP 12,500 dwt, 2x 120-180t cranes) which is based on valuable input from shipowners, operators and charterers (see below). One of our essential reports remains the Monthly Container Report and in addition, we make available a list of all reported S&P and demolition transaction within the Container Market.
The research department is also available for “Reports on demand”.
