Anglo-Eastern Group

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 Univan 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. In May 2012, the company entered a partnership agreement with the Teekay group, assisting them with crew management and training.

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.
