Looking for real value and infrastructure investment opportunities?
We are on a mission to accompany institutional and professional private investors with their investments in Multipurpose/Project & Heavy lift vessels managed and operated by the global market leader.

Philipp Leibundgut is the Founder and Chairman of Briese Schiffahrt (Schweiz) AG. Philipp’s journey to investing in multipurpose vessels started after a successful career managing the Russian investment portfolio of a Swiss family office, co-founding and managing a real estate company listed on the Swiss Stock Exchange and taking responsibility for Corporate Finance, Structured Finance and Portfolio/Fund Management of a Swiss private banking group.
In 2016 Philipp had the opportunity to participate in the wind-down of Swiss based Massoel Shipping SA and started to see the investment potential of the multipurpose shipping industry.
Having realized that the global market leader, Briese Schiffahrt/BBC Chartering was embarking on a journey of a significant fleet renewal, Philipp partnered up with Wilke Briese, the second generation manager of family owned Briese Schiffahrt, to bring this co-investment opportunity to the Swiss market.
