Hallo from Hamburg,
am sorry Allan, I got no list of all the companies who ceased to exist or changed their trading. But they were quite a few, H.M. Gehrckens comes to my mind as well as
Heinrich von Bargen, well known to Peter and other members.Robbie will certainly know a lot how the master/owners suffered during the first recession. During the 70`s all parts were affected, the shipyards who lost their jobs due to Japan and Southkorea, the shippingcompanies and I believe also the "independent"shipbroker. I remember the starting of the new service called BTS (Brokers Telex Service) if I recall it correctly. A telex device was installed, which was printing out endless offers for cargo. One could see afterwards who was offering cargoes, very often you could see that 2 or more brokers had the same offer, but for different brokerage. Now it wasn`t no longer a secret who had the least fees, normally the broker acting for the shippers. So it wasn`t in the end usefull for some shipbrokers.....
But believe that Garreth will know more about this time, as I quit working in 1973 as shipping agent.
Today one has to look only into Equasis in order to know if a shipping company is still operating their own vessels, or if they are owned by a bank or other companies. Even the crew management is very often being done by other external firms, so all changed a lot in the last decades, but you all know a whole lot more of these changes.

Marpro,Whitbury and that one owned by Peter de Savary(3 ships ard 1500cc) Will try find out the company name.
Dierk, the BTS is still going I understand but email rules now.We had two of 'em in the office at Colchester,clack clack clack all the time
If you had a cargo that was'nt paying or for the wrong direction or a empty ship that your usual charterers did'nt have anything for then 'stick it on the BTS' and see if anyone salutes it
