Introduction

Frachtkontor Junge & Co GmbH
At the beginning of the 20th century a group of important German ship owners, among those HAPAG, Norddeutscher Lloyd and Rob. M. Sloman jr. established the Deutsche Kohlen Depot (German coal depot), in order to transport coal to overseas depots and to supply German steamships with coal around the world. This company established the Frachtkontor Gesellschaft mbH on 7 April 1905.
Accompanied by several mining companies Frachtkontor established Seereederei “Frigga” in 1920, holding 25%+ of the total shares. Frachtkontor became exclusive agent of “Frigga”.
In the same year Poseidon Schiffahrt KG is established together with Hugo Stinnes.

In 1942 Erwin Junge became Managing Director, the company changed and renamed itself as Frachtkontor Junge & co.
In 1965 the company sold its shares of “Frigga”.
In 1972 the Stinnes Group, owner of Poseidon, acquires 50% of the company. The chartering departments of Poseidon and Frachtkontor merged. In the same year a tanker department was started, an agency department two years later.
In 1993 Frachtkontor acquires 100% of Poseidon, in 1996 Stinnes AG becomes the only shareholder of Frachtkontor.
In 2000 Frachtkontor’s business structure was changed and the company was renamed as Frachtkontor Junge & Co GmbH.
