Anglo-Eastern Group
Encyclopedia
Peter Nash established Anglo-Eastern in 1974, initially as a chartering and ship owning organization - with Anglo-Eastern Ship Management Services being the in-house manager of the ships. The latter was the start of the present Anglo-Eastern Group.

As demonstrated by their award-winning abilities, the Anglo-Eastern Group has quietly grown over years, establishing an operation that is praised by clients for its service standards and long-standing employee records.

The process of an MBO (Management Buy Out) in 1998 and a subsequent merger with an established UK ship manager, Denholm Ship Management in 2001, were the key factors in establishing the present AE Group as a truly independent, global ship manager.

Currently the Anglo-Eastern Group looks after a varied fleet, crew-based training, and operating on a worldwide basis.

Current fleet -

As of July 2011, Anglo Eastern managed more than 380 vessels, consisting mostly of container ships, bulk carriers and tankers (crude oil, product and chemical), heavy lift vessels (all owned by Dockwise—a Dutch company) and a few general cargo and roro vessels.

Hong Kong forms the hub of its operations, with company offices occupying more than 3 floors, in Queens Road, Wanchai. Their other large management offices (more than 50 ships each) are located in Singapore (tanker division) and Glasgow.
Comparatively smaller offices (less than 25 ships) are located in Antwerp, Bremen, USA and India. The company's technical services division (AETS) supervises new builds and conversions in China, Korea and Philippines.

Anglo Eastern started its own cadet training academy (also called AEMA—Anglo Eastern Maritime Academy) in 2009. This is located in Karjat, 2 hours' drive from Mumbai, currently houses 120 deck DNS cadets and 40 GME engine cadets, and is expected to expand further.

The company has its own training centers, with full mission deck and engine simulators, in India (Mumbai Andheri—AEMTC), China (Guangzhou), Ukraine (Odessa), Philippines (Manila), Chennai and Kolkata.

The crew manning Anglo Eastern ships comes chiefly from India, Philippines, Ukraine (and other East European countries), UK, China and Australia. The company was awarded the DG Shipping Best Indian Ship Manager and Lloyds list training award, among others. The company works voluntarily with a number of agencies like IMO, ICS, INTERTANKO and participates in a number of shipping summits and conferences - this has earned the company a lot of goodwill in the international shipping community.
