From one person to a maritime company with more than 2,500 employees

The story of Briese Schiffahrt began with a young man named Roelf Briese whoadored the sea. In 23 became the captain and got the academic education in theInstitute of Maritime Study in Leer. His passion led him to found a maritime company when he was 39. Managed in the 2nd generation by Wilke Briese and opened to new, but with the respect to traditions Briese Schiffahrt today is a company of more than 2,500 employees all over the world – people of different age, nationality and professional directions.

Briese is not just about working in maritime, it’s about the corporation wheredifferent departments are working in tandem with support to each other formoving forward. Young people who come are not positioned out of the systembut in it from the early beginning. During apprenticeship they work in eachdepartment for 4 months and decide their own way in the company. We believethat there is always a right choice to start.
