„To be successful at sea, you must respect its nature“

Tom Jacob, Managing Director Jacob
Tankschiffahrtsgesellschaft

Welcome to Jacob

Jacob – The Shipping Group holds together all the threads involved in tanker shipping: thanks to the close interaction between the Ernst Jacob shipping company, family-run for three generations and the Jacob Tankschiffahrtsgesellschaft tanker shipping company, founded in 2000, we have the entire maritime services portfolio covered in terms of responsible and sustainable ownership and management of tankers – from sale & purchase to building supervision for newbuildings, procurement, employment, insurance, maintenance, repairs and the appointment of qualified crews. In addition, with its own revenue pool for Panamax/LR1 tankers, the Jacob Panamax Tanker Pool (JPTP), Jacob – The Shipping Group provides the platform for competitive use and tailored operation of the ships. The service portfolio is rounded off with accounting and controlling.
