Urag

In 1966 URAG strengthened its position in bulk cargo transport through the foundation of the "Unterweser Reederei Beteiligungs-GmbH". A second company - the "Roland Linie Schifffahrtsgesellschaft mbH" - was founded in 1970 as a co-operation of URAG and "Lloyd". Then, in 1973 the "Unterweser Frachtschifffahrts-GmbH & Co. KG" was founded in co-operation with the "Hapag Lloyd AG"; two years later Hapag Lloyd took over the URAG-shares. After abandoning cargo shipping the company was on the lookout for new ways to employ its tugs. Not only was the tug-fleet subject to thorough modernisation, being the core of our business, but our approach towards the expansion of our financial interests was also intensified.
