The core competence of the Salamon Group lies in
with a focus on transport and logistics, particularly shipping. This is carried out through specialist subsidiaries and with the support of an international network of ship managers, financing specialists/banks, shipbrokers, solicitors, auditors and tax advisers, which has been built up through many years of collaboration.
Salamon AG is an investment company and asset manager focusing on maritime investments. To date, it has acquired 19 ships with a deadweight tonnage of over 1.8 million DWT and an investment volume of over 860 million US dollars.
Currently, the active fleet includes two tankers and one bulkcarrier with a deadweight tonnage of 323,344 dwt.
“During the most difficult of times, Salamon AG fought for its vessels through professional management, perseverance and tenacity – which we, as a bank, were happy to support – and thus steered many of them through the long crisis. It is one of the very few former ship fund initiators that still exist today and with which we enjoy a trusting working relationship. The highly profitable operation of the tankers from 2022 onwards, the resulting record distributions and the recent sale at a historic peak price demonstrate excellent timing and represent a successful exit, for which we can only offer our congratulations.”
“Salamon AG was a highly valued member of our Panamax Tanker Pool for many years, and we were co-owners of the Salamon managed Motor Tanker Cape Tampa, which was sold in 2026. The investment proved highly profitable for us.”
“Navig8, and myself personally, have known and enjoyed working with Christian and Hans since 2012 when the MT Iblea joined our V8 Aframax Pool, today we run 2 Salamon vessels in our Suezmax Pool; MT Astra and MT Voyager. These vessels whilst not the youngest in the fleet have been technically maintained to a very high standard and are managed by Salamon AG with an extremely commercial and professional approach.”
SALAMON: SAG shipping fleet achieves record distributions in 2020 …
Almost nothing remains of the providers and their vessels from that time. Yet in Dortmund there is one company, Salamon AG, that survived the crisis [the post-Lehman crisis, editor’s note] and is now attracting attention with outstanding distributions:
Last year, the eight SAG shipping companies distributed a total of €16.514 million to investors, representing an average return of 9.8% on equity across all funds.
“We had for 10 years a Salamon Caper in our fleet. The performance of the ship and the management service rendered to us was always impeccable. We are looking forward to charter a Salamon vessel on the next occasion. All the best, Pacific Bulk Group.”
“We have been partners with Christian and Hans since the inception of Penfield’s Panamax Tanker Pool in 2014. The Salamon Panamax Tankers are some of the finest ships we have worked with.”
“The shipping markets have been a real challenge for shipowners over the past decade. Many of them and most fund initiators had to give up. Numerous German ships were sold abroad. Christian Salamon and Hans Akkermann navigated this difficult period for the benefit of their co-investors significantly better than most other issuing houses and were once again able to achieve record distributions in 2020.”
Salamon AG has excellent contacts with
leading charterers, shipping companies and maritime service providers.
