Safmarine
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Safmarine (Safmarine Container Lines N.V.) is an international shipping business offering container and break-bulk shipping services worldwide. Formed in 1946 by American ship owners and South African industrialists, it is now widely known as a north/south trade and Africa specialist. It is represented in more than 130 countries throughout the world, with more than 1200 dedicated Safmariners providing personalised shipping solutions. Safmarine has been headquartered and registered in Antwerp, Belgium since 1996 when it completed its acquisition of The Belgian Line CMBT. In 1999, Safmarine was bought by A.P. Moller-Maersk Group and they kept it as its own brand rather than integrating it wholly into Maersk Sealand. In 2002, Safmarine acquired Torm Lines.
