Intern, International Shipping Department, Hamburg
Berenberg’s involvement in shipping dates back to the 18th century. Over time, we have established business relationships with more than 400 international shipping clients and have successfully launched several private debt funds backed by institutional long-term capital.
As part of the International Shipping Department within Corporate Banking, our Interns get the opportunity to experience first hand the inner workings of a department focused on international maritime banking services, maritime finance and investment management.
The interns, within their stay of at least three months, will rotate through the following functions:
- Relationship and Account Management: Dive into Transaction and Cash Management Services, the core of our department and the largest part of your rotation. You will gain in-depth knowledge of managing client relationships and accounts, learning how to tailor banking solutions to meet the unique needs of our international shipping clients.
- Foreign Exchange Trading: Complementing your experience from our Relationship and Account Management team, you will have the opportunity to spend a few days with our FX traders. Here, you'll observe how they work with shipping clients daily to execute large transactions or acquire complex financial instruments.
- Ship Finance and Asset Management: Explore the world of ship finance and asset management. You'll learn how we structure financing solutions for maritime assets, assess and document credit risk and manage our loan portfolio. These functions offer a blend of analysis and industry-specific knowledge.
- Shipping Origination: Join our specialized and dedicated deal team for a few days. You will be involved in the origination of new shipping deals, from initial client engagement to the finalization of complex transactions.
