Regulatory approval has been confirmed for the merger of Cyprus-based ship and crew managers Columbia Shipmanagement and Marlow Navigation to form new entity Columbia Marlow, the two privately owned companies announced.  

‘Columbia Marlow will continue to deliver the high-level quality services that are, and will continue to be, in demand by today’s fast-changing shipping industry,’ said an official statement. ‘It will focus on its core services of technical and crew management, together with whatever support services are required by its clients.’

Columbia Cruise Services, based in Hamburg, currently manages a fleet of nine ocean cruise vessels, offering full management for one and technical and crewing management for the others.
