About
The Great Eastern Shipping Company (GES) was the brainchild of the Sheths and the Bhiwandiwallas as a shipping line to expand their existing business. It started as a provider of sea logistics but has since diversified into offshore oil field services. Today, its two major business verticals include shipping and offshore. The former deals with the transportation of petroleum products, gas, and crude oil, while the latter serves oil companies to carry out their offshore exploration and production activities with the help of GES subsidiary, Greatship (India) Limited. Among its fleet of 38 ships, 4 are LPG carriers, 5 are crude oil carriers, 12 are dry bulk carriers, and 17 are product carriers.
