Just in time for SMM, the Hamburg-based company Peter Gast Shipping is introducing its extended repair team, consisting of Sanem Söz, Nick Zetzsche, and Alexander Gast.
With this move, the specialist in new builds, repairs, and conversions is undergoing a generational shift and is placing its bets on a young team that brings experience in both shipping and the logistics and transport sectors.
Sanem Söz, originally from Izmir, Turkey, studied Maritime Business Administration. After graduation, she gained experience as a chartering broker in Turkey before fulfilling her dream of working as a repair agent at Peter Gast Shipping, and she is also a member of WISTA Germany.
Nick Zetzsche brings 25 years of business experience to the new repair team, in addition to his training as a shipping merchant and his engineering degree from Glasgow. Having grown up in West Africa and Australia, he has worked in various roles and countries within the maritime industry. He has been serving as an agent at Peter Gast Shipping for the past year.
Alexander Gast, the grandnephew of the company‘s founder Peter Gast, began his career in maritime navigation, where he worked as an officer for many years after completing his training and a degree in nautical studies, eventually obtaining his captain‘s license. At the same time, he completed a degree in industrial engineering and recently led successful digitalization projects in Global Commercial Development at Hapag-Lloyd. In the spring of this year, he joined the family business, bringing with him extensive experience in maritime operations and project management. As announced at the 41st Peter Gast Shipping Regatta, Alexander Gast will succeed Hans-Joachim Lemcke.
Meet the Repair Trio at SMM
The new Repair Trio brings a breath of fresh air to the company by offering expert advice and mediation services worldwide, supporting shipping companies with shipyard projects, including complex retrofitting and conversions. Instead of splitting the market, the trio members work together and support each other to consistently deliver the best possible solutions. Through this dynamic teamwork and mutual support, they achieve optimal results for clients, backed by the experience of the entire PGS-team. However, according to Alexander Gast, what remains unchanged is the personal closeness to the customer and the focus on their needs. »It‘s not about us, it‘s about trust,« Alexander Gast describes the company‘s credo.
