Our roots and more...

The roots of Hartman can be traced back to a.d. 1775. On 26 September 1775, "Jurjen Jans Hartman" son of Jan Lambertus Hartman was born, both being recorded as "skipper". From this the base of Hartman Seatrade is established...

After seven generations of skipper-owners, we currently have generation number eight of skipper-owners, better known as the Dutch "Hartman brothers".

Still just sailing their own vessel, with always one of the Hartman brothers being captain on board. Totally thrustworthy.
