From 4 November, the International Maritime Museum will be hosting a special exhibition on 150 years of the Hamburg Süd shipping company.
The shipping company has been at home on the world's oceans for 150 years now. Both world wars led to the total loss of its fleet, but both times it managed to recover and rebuild. In 1936, the Bielefeld-based company Dr August Oetker joined the Hamburg South in 1955. In 1955, the Oetker Group took over the shipping company completely. A successful period of steady expansion began, until the Hamburg South was sold to the Danish A.P. Møller-Mærsk Group at the end of 2017.
The exhibits on display in the special exhibition range from the founding charter of the shipping company from 1871 to original posters of passenger ship voyages from four decades. On display are impressive ship models as well as documents and paintings that have never been shown to the public before, including some of the shipping company's first ships from 1873. Audio and video material as well as miniature ships complete the chronology of the shipping company.
The exhibition is sponsored by Dr August Oetker KG and takes place in the International Maritime Museum at Koreastrasse 1, Kaispeicher B in Hamburg. More information at www.imm-hamburg.de

Well, "150 years of Hamburg Süd" is not correct, because until it was sold to Maersk it was a shipping company, since then it has only been a brand name. Such blunders should not happen in your publication.
