Softship AG

The vessel's voyage

In 1989 Herbert Frick, shipping expert and IT specialist, and Heiko Nocke, experienced project manager and IT specialist, launched the "Softship" with the sole purpose of delivering IT solutions to a singularly specific market - the shipping industry.

Throughout the years the Softship's voyages took its crew all around the globe. The first ports of call were Hamburg and Bremen. Soon the services were extended to other European ports (Rotterdam, Antwerp, Le Havre, London).

In 1996 Softship Data Processing Pte Ltd was founded in Singapore to better serve our customers in the Asian region. In the meantime Softship Singapore ripened into an important development, production and service location.

The conversion of Softship Hamburg from a GmbH (limited liability company) into an AG (stock corporation) was done to help future growth and make the company more attractive for prospective customers and personnel.

An especially important date for the Softship is June 22nd, 2001: the IPO at the stock exchange in Frankfurt/Main, which will greatly contribute to future success with investment in the products, services and sales force.

Softship expanded further and founded branches in Belgium, the Netherlands and Argentina.

Today the Softships sail the Seven Seas to help its customers do their business with ever increasing success.

Softship - software for the shipping business

When in 1989 we desperately needed to name the new vessel the brainstorming circled around the vessel's purpose: delivering software to the shipping industry.

So, if you slur a little while repeating this central sentence, soon enough you will have condensed it to Soft-ship.
