Apeejay Shipping is amongst the largest privately held shipping companies in India. Established in 1948 in response to the burgeoning opportunities of India’s post independence economy, we pioneered new trade routes and are founder members of the East Coast West Gulf Conference Line. Over the years, we have steadily grown our fleet, built enduring partnerships with an international clientele, negotiated the recession of the 90s and emerged a leading sea transportation solutions provider.

Expert human resources supported by the latest logistical management systems enable our ISO 9001:2000 certified fleet to deliver world class, timely service. Specialising in dry bulk cargo, our fleet comprises different sized vessels which are being constantly upgraded to meet the requirements of global trade. Recent augments to the fleet have been APJ Mahalaxmi, a Gearless Panamax in March 2009 and APJ Kais, the first of three Supramaxes from Cosco Shipyard Group, China in April 2009.

The past few years have seen Indian shipping ride the high wave. A booming freight market, the favourable introduction of tonnage tax and a robust backing of fiscal incentives have created an industry surge. Seizing opportunity, we have entered into two joint venture projects to set up greenfield Shipyards at a proposed 500 acre site at Geonkhali, West Bengal and a land area of 1,050 acres at Bhadrak, Orissa. Both locations will have state-of-the-art ship building and repair facilities to manufacture and maintain up to 3,00,000 DWT, VLCC class vessels and off-shore jack-up rigs for global markets. Further extending our portfolio to value added services, we will enhance logistical support through an efficient and completely integrated delivery mechanism at two joint venture greenfield Logistics Parks of 90 acres in West Bengal and 30 acres in Orissa. We believe our Shipyards, Logistics Parks and value added services will enable us to offer complete integration thereby providing even better value to our customers.
