A shipping company is a transport enterprise in the range of the sea and inland waterway craft travel.

It has a commercial enterprise for the freight advertisement, completion and distribution ashore. The entrepreneur, who operates a shipping company, is called shipowner.

Bereedern is called, a ship during his active travel time administer. The shipowner does not have to be thereby owners of the ship. It is used only as manager for the ship. Thus the shipowner is not compelling owners of a ship. A great many investment trusts could begin even nothing with their ship. In addition, they hand it therefore to a shipowner to the Bereederung.Der shipowner can to owners or partners over be.

Part shipping companies - a special company form of the merchant shipping act - are individual ships with several (part = part), who likewise leave their ship from an experienced shipping company bereedern. The ship is then total hand ability, whereby the ship and each part of the ship belong inseparably to all. Each ship is for itself a shipping company and calls itself "“part shipping company + ship name"”.

An example: A German ship is freighted to a Slovenian shipping company in cash boat charter. That means: The Slovenian shipping company paid in regular intervals a certain sum to the owner and takes thereby each responsibility for the ship. It places and pays the crew as well as all running costs. She takes each legal responsibility and becomes thereby shipowner of this ship, but not owner.
