ABOUT US

CASTLE SHIPS commenced operations in 2006 and acquired its first tanker in the same year. Over the years the company has evolved as a pure play product tanker company.

While the company has grown in size, it has matured as a reliable maritime partner to its customers.

CASTLE SHIPS traces its linage to Ind-Aust Group and is its subsidiary. Founded in 1995, the Ind-Aust Group has excelled in Technical and Commercial Management of various types of ships. CASTLE SHIPS combines the vitality of a young organisation with the wisdom and fine Maritime linage derived from its parent company.
