About The Great Eastern Shipping Company

The Great Eastern Shipping Company Limited is a bulk shipping company. It carries crude oil, petroleum products, gas and dry bulk commodities, and it earns from freight and charter hire. It was incorporated in 1948, and its registered office is in Mumbai.

Its shipping fleet is made up of crude carriers, product carriers, gas carriers and dry bulk carriers. A subsidiary in Singapore, The Greatship (Singapore) Pte. Ltd., acts as shipping agent for the company's ships. Another, The Great Eastern Chartering (Singapore) Pte. Ltd., is held through a company in the United Arab Emirates and has held positions in dry bulk freight futures and oil futures.

The second business is offshore oilfield services, run by Greatship (India) Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary. It owns or operates offshore supply vessels and mobile offshore drilling rigs. Its fleet includes platform supply vessels, anchor handling tug cum supply vessels, multi-purpose platform supply and support vessels and jack-up rigs. Greatship Global Offshore Services Pte. Ltd. in Singapore owns some of these vessels.

The company and its subsidiaries together form the Great Eastern Group. In February 2015 the group set up a wholly owned not-for-profit subsidiary, now called Great Eastern Foundation, to carry out its social welfare work in India. Mr. K. M. Sheth joined the company in 1952, became Chairman and Managing Director in 1992 and is now Chairman Emeritus. Mr. Bharat K. Sheth has been Chairman and Managing Director since November 2025. The shares are listed on BSE and the National Stock Exchange of India.

Yearly rates to Mar 2026, per-share figures restated for splits and bonuses.

OverReturn a yearEarnings growthChange in P/EDividend yield

3 years+33.1%+4.5%+24.3%3.1%

Return is price growth plus the average dividend yield. Change in P/E is (1 + price growth) / (1 + earnings growth) - 1, so the parts compound rather than add.
