Thome’s 50th Anniversary, Celebrations for 2013.
Thome & Co was founded as a ship agency in Singapore by Mr. Freitjov Thome in 1963. An expansion into ship management followed in 1976 and we are proud to be among the pioneers of the Ship Management industry.
Thome Ship Management was the first independent third party manager in Singapore, where our ship management operation started from a team of 16 people 35 years ago and today it employs more than 500 shore staff across offices worldwide and have a pool of around 10,000 seafarers to man the around 300 ships we operate, 200 of them under full technical management.
2013 will be a milestone year for several reason aside from our half century anniversary.
