Mr. A short history and development of our Ship Agency company: During the last decades of the 19th Century, Mexico?s foreign trade grew substantially and as a consequence maritime shipping also grew. In 1879 the german liner company Hamburg Amerika Line made its initial port call at Veracruz with the M/V "Lothringia", offering ocean transportation to Cuba and to Hamburg and other northern european ports of call. The importing company at Veracruz, Messrs. Guillermo Bussing & Co., acted as their first ship agents, however in 1900, a young and industrious ship agent by the name of Don Ricardo Eversbusch Beckmann, native from Hamburg, Germany, established himself in the port of Veracruz, Mexico and founded toghether with his partner, the ship agency - Agencia Comercial y Maritima Heynen & Eversbusch - company that as of that date began representing the above mentioned liner company. Soon after North German Lloyd and other liner companies were also represented, thereby expanding its operations to Tampico and to the capital city of Mexico. The Mexican Revolution, two world wars and a depression, severely affected the operation of merchant marines worldwide, notwithstanding the company grew and developed to become a leader in its field, expanding into other activites, such as cargo customs brokerage, terminal and stevedoring operations, least to say coastal maritime transportation. Representaciones Maritimas, S.A. de C.V., the successory company, was founded on April 22nd, 1950 by the eldest son, Don Ricardo Eversbusch Vollmann, a Mexican born in the port of Veracruz, on Novemer 8th, 1908. Once having finished his formal education, he obtained extensive shipping experience in New York and in German ports, as a professional ship agent and terminal and stevedore operator, activities he worked at for a time with the earlier agency, Agencia Comercial y Maritima, Heynen & Eversbusch. Don Ricardo?s consistency, discipline, vision, working capacity, leadership and human quality where virtues elemental for the development and growth of Representaciones Maritimas, S.A. de C.V., company that in its more than 50 years of entrepreneurial existence, has successfully lived through unsurmounted transitions, result of the accelerated evolution in the maritime industry, tecnological advances in the field of computer and electronic data transmissions, in communications and generally speaking in the cargo logistics in foreign trade. At the beginning of the decade of 1970s, a third generation joined the management of the company, in the persons of Ricardo and Alexander Eversbusch Grauert, sons of the founder. Both previously also received extensive training and experience in the field of maritime shipping and thereto related activities and have managed the company since the mid 1980s. The development of new service products related to foreign trade of goods, knowledge of service requirements of each customer, seeking and obtaining new liner ship agency representations, diversification in general, jointly managed with an efficient cost control system has and is our strategy to mantain Representaciones Maritimas, S.A. de C.V. as a leading company in the field of transportation, port, terminal, stevedoring, project and cargo logistics, are activities that in recent years now fall under the responsability and direction of the fourth generation, that of Ricardo and Cristian Eversbusch Amtmann, both majors in Business Administration and with professional experience in the field of shipping, also obtained abroad.
