Bernhard Schulte Shipmanagement currently manages 650 ships and employs over 17,000 seafarers on its fleet. It operates offices in over 25 countries worldwide.
Rajaish Bajpaee built up his reputation as President of the Eurasuia Group from where he became elected as the last President of ISMA (the old ship managers association) and the first President of InterManager, the newly formed trade association for inhouse and third party managers.
He was fundamental in formulating InterManager’s much feted KPI project.
