In shipping since 1873, SLOMAN NEPTUN’s history goes back to the early days of steamships. It was at that time that a joint stock company under the name of Dampfschifffahrts-Gesellschaft “Neptun” Actien-Gesellschaft, Bremen, was established to operate a regular liner service between the river Weser and other North European ports. In the next decades this scope was extended to the Iberian Peninsula and West Mediterranean, including serving most ports along the way.

In 1969, and as joint venture with close shipping partners, the company co-founded, and became a shareholder of the UNIGAS Consortium and thereby – aside from its traditional liner activity – started operating gas tankers. At that time, the carriage of Liquid Petroleum Gas (LPG) by sea was still a segment in its early days.

On its 100th Anniversary in 1973, the company operated a diversified fleet, which included liner ships, gas tankers and research vessels. It was at this stage when the befriended SLOMAN GROUP of Hamburg, family owned and in shipping since 1793, acquired the majority of the shares and in addition merged in its fleet and related shipping activities. The company was consequently renamed.

Until the end of the century, SLOMAN NEPTUN continued its expansion into the tanker segment. The UNIGAS consortium, with its offices in Rotterdam, Houston and Hong Kong, developed to be the backbone of the company’s gas tanker activities. The liner service established itself in connecting Northern Europe with North Africa and other Mediterranean ports through regular sailings.

In the early 2000’s, the company started to further diversify its tanker activities by entering the Product Tanker, as well as Chemical Tanker segment. Today, after our 150th Anniversary, SLOMAN NEPTUN operates a diversified fleet of gas tankers, oil/chemical tankers and dry cargo vessels. We consider ourselves to be a wholistic ship owning company with all relevant management tasks such as technical, human resources, QHSE and commercial management being performed by in-house departments.

In addition to ship owning and operating, SLOMAN NEPTUN, through affiliated companies, is engaged in various other shipping related fields.
