The company has been certified to ISO 9001: 2000 standard by the governing body Det Norske Veritas (DNV).----History –--G E Shipping owes its success to the foresightedness of two families - the Sheths and the Bhiwandiwallas, who started their own shipping line to help expand the reach of their trading businesses. In 1948, after obtaining the mothballed Liberty ship, SS Fort Elice, G E Shipping began its maiden voyage under the entrepreneurial genius of Vasant J. Sheth and steered ahead confidently, tasting new waters and exploring new avenues. From providing sea-logistics support in its initial years to venturing in tramp shipping, to diversifying into offshore oil field services, much against the industry norms, the company has often swum against the tide and in the process, turned the tides in its favour, thereby laying a path for others to follow.----Safety at GE –--At G E Shipping, Safety takes precedence and is followed and implemented, strictly and religiously. The term “Safety” entails safety of not just life and cargo but also encompasses protection of the environment and maintenance and upgradation of vessels at regular intervals. The company has a proactive safety culture in place. Initiatives to integrate and implement strict safety measures for protection and preservation of environment has helped to uphold company's non-compromising attitude towards safety.----Our Fleet –--GE Shipping has a fleet of 30 vessels at present, including 22 tankers and eight dry bulk carriers. Apart from the existing order, the company has earlier also placed an order for three vessels, including a tanker and a bulk carrier.
