Heidmar has agreed to acquire Q-Shipping, a move that adds nine vessels to its managed fleet and expands its operational footprint in the Netherlands and Turkey.
The transaction targets Q-Shipping's core competencies in ship management and crewing services, establishing dedicated operational hubs in the acquired markets.
This acquisition allows Heidmar to scale its service capacity directly within key European and Mediterranean logistics corridors.
The deal comes as shipping companies navigate heightened geopolitical pressure on trade routes.
With India recently banning seafarer deployment on Hormuz routes due to escalating risks, the ability to secure and manage crewing operations has become a critical operational asset.
By integrating Q-Shipping, Heidmar strengthens its resilience against labor supply disruptions in high-risk zones.
