What are the challenges confronting the short sea shipping sector in an increasingly volatile global trade environment? Hear from Sabine Kilper, Senior Research Analyst, Toepfer Transport GmbH at Coastlink as she shares the latest market insights.
As networking coffee break sponsors, delegates will have the opportunity to meet Toepfer Transport to discuss the key challenges facing the short sea shipping sector. They follow a market intelligence–based approach which enables them to provide insightful market information to support their clients’ decision making and to add value by identifying the most suitable solutions for their business peers.
Established in Hamburg in 1974, Toepfer Transport is a boutique sale and purchase, and newbuilding shipbroker with a dedicated market research and analytics department. As well as serving all other shipping segments, the company is a leading broker and research provider within the Containership, Multipurpose, Heavy-lift and General Cargo segments.
The brokerage business has a long track-record of traditional secondhand sales, newbuildings, sale and leaseback deals, employment-related sales, and re-financing. In-house chartering experts and closely linked finance partners allow Toepfer Transport to put together unique financing and employment packages that facilitate purchase transactions.
As a boutique broker house, their approach is very client focused. A small, hand-picked and highly effective team – located in Hamburg (HQ), Shanghai and Singapore – ensures prompt and direct interaction with the markets and a tailor-made approach to every single transaction.
“As a leading independent shipbroker and market intelligence provider to the Short Sea and MPP shipping sector, we will be attending and sponsoring Coastlink Conference 2026, a valuable platform for us to meet and discuss the industry’s challenges and opportunities with key experts and thought leaders.”
