CASTLE SHIPS owns and operates vessels in the safest, most efficient and professional manner. We are relied upon to deliver the highest standards by our customers.
CASTLE SHIPS prides itself on a corporate culture focused on safety and incident-free operations. The company is responsible for providing its employees with a working environment that is safe and healthy. In parallel, each member of the company is individually responsible for working in a safe and healthy manner as well.
Safety procedures must always be followed, and the company’s formal risk assessment mechanism aims at decreasing the probability of mishaps, mishandlings and errors.
A job is considered well done only if it is safely done, and no business objective is so important that it requires the sacrifice of the company’s safety standards.

Wholly owned fleet : We maintain a robust capital structure that allows us to own our own product tanker fleet, we are not guided by unrealistic investor driven financial targets. We believe that this approach gives better stability to our company, its people on shore and on ships.
