Anglo-Eastern is a ship management company, with over 740 ships under third-party management. The company was formed by an August 2015 merger between Anglo-Eastern and Hong Kong–based Univan. As of November 2018, it was the largest ship manager in the world (by number of ships), and the second largest in the world (by number of seafarers).
History
Peter Cremers established Anglo-Eastern in 1974, initially as a chartering and ship owning organization, with Anglo-Eastern Management Services being the in-house manager of the ships. The latter was the start of the present Anglo-Eastern Group. A 1998 management buyout and a subsequent merger with an established UK ship manager, Denholm Ship Management in 2001, established the present Anglo-Eastern Group as an independent, global ship manager.{{cite web |url=http://www.angloeasterngroup.com/home.aspx |title=Anglo-Eastern Group |publisher=Anglo-Eastern Group |accessdate=January 10, 2009 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20081227072302/http://www.angloeasterngroup.com/home.aspx |archivedate=December 27, 2008
By September 2013, Anglo-Eastern was managing more than 450 vessels, consisting mostly of container ships, bulk carriers and tankers (crude oil, product and chemical), heavy lift vessels (owned by Dockwise—a Dutch company) and a few general cargo and RoRo vessels. In August 2015, Anglo-Eastern merged with Univan Group and was renamed Anglo-Eastern Univan Group, with a combined total of almost 24,000 employees, and combined third party management of nearly 600 ships.
Offices
Since April 2020, Anglo-Eastern has had its head office in Kowloon Bay, Hong Kong, where it occupies three floors in Kingston International Centre, 19 Wang Chiu Road. Additionally, the company has more than 25 locations across Asia-Pacific, Europe and the Americas, including but not limited to Singapore, Mumbai, Manila, Antwerp, Hamburg, Goes, Glasgow, Odesa and London. It employs more than 32,000 seafarers from multiple countries, with a majority of its seafarers coming from India, Philippines, Ukraine, Latvia and China. It also has one of the largest maritime training centres in India, located in Mumbai (also Delhi), a large cadet training academy in nearby Karjat (Anglo-Eastern Maritime Academy), and additional training centres in Odesa, Manila and mainland China.
