17 July 2025 – Hamburg, Germany – Achilles is proud to welcome Nordic Hamburg Group as the latest member of the Achilles Maritime Network.
By joining the network, Nordic Hamburg gains access to powerful tools that enhance visibility across its supply base. The platform enables real-time validation of supplier information and flags potential issues early – including risks related to ESG, compliance, or operational resilience.
This move supports Nordic Hamburg in meeting growing regulatory expectations, especially around sustainability reporting. The ability to collect, monitor and share consistent data is more important than ever.
Robert Kruse, Global Head of Procurement at Nordic Hamburg: “We see increasing expectations around transparency, regulatory compliance, and ESG performance across the maritime industry. By joining the Achilles Maritime Network, we gain access to a structured platform that supports consistent supplier assessments, improves data quality, and strengthens our sustainability reporting. This helps us drive accountability across our supply chain and align with the highest industry standards.”
The platform also allows for consistent evaluation of supplier performance. Teams can review completed work, benchmark quality, and make informed decisions for future projects. This creates stronger, more accountable supplier relationships.
This development comes as more industry leaders turn to Achilles. Stødig Ship Management and Swire have recently joined the Maritime Network, which is delivered in partnership with BIMCO – the world’s largest international shipping association.
“We’re delighted to welcome Nordic Hamburg Group as the latest high-profile addition to the rapidly growing Achilles Maritime Network,” said Craig Rodgerson, CEO and Chair at Achilles. “Their strong commitment to responsible sourcing and operational excellence further strengthens our collective mission to drive greater transparency, trust, and efficiency across the global maritime supply chain. Momentum is building, and Nordic Hamburg’s involvement marks another significant step forward.”
Achilles continues to grow its maritime community, helping operators reduce risk, drive sustainability, and improve performance across the global supply chain.
