1993
Nikolaus H. Schües, son of Nikolaus W. Schües, joines the company in 1993. This year marks the privatization of the former East German state-owned shipping company, the Deutsche Seereederei Rostock. A Hamburg-based merchant and long-time business associate of Laeisz, is particularly interested in the DSR's real estate and tourism activities and purchases the DSR jointly with Nikolaus W. Schües, who as a shipowner, is keenly interested in the shipping division. The fleets of both the Deutsche Seereederei (DSR) and the F. Laeisz Schiffahrtsgesellschaft merge into the Reederei F. Laeisz, a major step positioning the Laeisz group back among the leading European shipping companies.
