G E Shipping’s fleet is currently comprised of 37 vessels, including 24 tankers and 13 dry bulk carriers, with an average age of 8.9 years.

Market value of the company’s current fleet stands at USD 622.3 million, according to data provided by VesselsValue.

Additionally, the company has 1 newbuilding Kamsarmax on order.
