Your Swiss Maritime Investment Partner
Briese Schiffahrt (Schweiz) AG was founded to connect professional investors with maritime investment opportunities through one of the world's most established shipping groups.
For more than a decade, we have focused exclusively on maritime investments, combining backgrounds in investment banking, capital markets and family office investing with direct access to the maritime industry.
Our role extends far beyond identifying investment opportunities. We accompany investors throughout the entire investment lifecycle, organise shareholder meetings, monitor market developments and charter rates, and maintain close dialogue with the Briese Group and operational management.
Regular vessel and shipyard visits, participation in international industry conferences and ongoing market monitoring provide first-hand insights into developments across the maritime sector and the assets we accompany.
As a majority Swiss-owned company with the local investment team as principal shareholders, we are committed to long-term relationships, transparent communication and an independent perspective focused on the interests of investors.
