Title: Carebeka 1939 to 1983 by J.H. Anderiesse, E.A. Kruidhof and J. Oostmeijer
Language: Dutch and English
Summary: Carebeka’s model: by coordinating ship-owners via a chartering office, you could achieve economies of scale (better contract terms, longer charters) while staying independent.
The mid-20th century shipping world included many “coaster” operators; Carebeka is a representative example of a mid-sized operator rather than a giant liner company.
Despite growth and a large managed fleet, structural changes in shipping (fleet size, vessel specialization, market shifts) challenged such companies; eventually financial strain ended Carebeka’s operation by 1983.
For maritime historians, the fleet list offers detailed primary data (vessel names, builds, owners, fates) for the 280 vessels associated with the company
