**Anglo-Eastern**, also known as **Anglo-Eastern Univan Group**, is a [ship management](/source/Ship_management) company, with over 740 ships under third-party management.[1] The company was formed by an August 2015 merger between Anglo-Eastern and Hong Kong–based [Univan](/source/Univan). As of November 2018, it was the largest ship manager in the world (by number of ships), and the second largest in the world (by number of seafarers).[2]

## History

Peter Cremers established Anglo-Eastern in 1974, initially as a [chartering](/source/Chartering_(shipping)) and ship owning organization, with Anglo-Eastern Management Services being the in-house manager of the ships. The latter was the start of the present Anglo-Eastern Univan Group. A 1998 [management buyout](/source/Management_buyout) and a subsequent merger with an established UK ship manager, Denholm Ship Management in 2001, established the present Anglo-Eastern Group as an independent, global ship manager.[3] In May 2012, the company entered a partnership agreement with the Teekay group, assisting them with crew management and training.[4]

By September 2013, Anglo-Eastern was managing more than 450 vessels, consisting mostly of container ships, bulk carriers and tankers (crude oil, product and chemical), heavy lift vessels (owned by [Dockwise](/source/Dockwise)—a Dutch company) and a few general cargo and RoRo vessels. In August 2015, Anglo-Eastern merged with Univan Group and was renamed Anglo-Eastern Univan Group, with a combined total of almost 24,000 employees, and combined third party management of nearly 600 ships.[2]

## Offices

Since April 2020, Anglo-Eastern has had its head office in [Kowloon Bay](/source/Kowloon_Bay), Hong Kong, where it occupies three floors in Kingston International Centre, 19 Wang Chiu Road. Additionally, the company has more than 30 locations across Asia-Pacific, Europe and the Americas, including but not limited to [Singapore](/source/Singapore), [Mumbai](/source/Mumbai), [Manila](/source/Manila), [Antwerp](/source/Antwerp), [Hamburg](/source/Hamburg), [Goes](/source/Goes), [Glasgow](/source/Glasgow), [Odesa](/source/Odesa) and [London](/source/London).[5] It employs more than 39,000 seafarers from multiple countries, with a majority of its seafarers coming from India, Philippines, Ukraine, Latvia and China. It also has one of the largest maritime training centres in India, located in [Mumbai](/source/Mumbai) (also [Delhi](/source/Delhi)), a large cadet training academy in nearby Karjat (Anglo-Eastern Maritime Academy), and additional training centres in Odesa, Manila and mainland China.[6]
