Troubled German line Marenave Schiffahrts has been given breathing space until January 27 by its creditors. Marenave has also revealed that Ernst Russ, formerly HCI Capital, has built up a sizeable shareholding in the line, now controlling 333,960 shares giving it 22.6% of the voting rights in the German company.

Marenave was founded in 2006 by König & Cie and HSH Nordbank although it has since changed hands twice.

Its most recent fleet list shows six product tankers, four bulk carriers, two containerships and a car carrier.
