Our History

We are an Indian family-owned maritime enterprise with roots dating back to 1912, when our ancestral founders, alongside the Stuparich brothers of Italy, began their journey in international shipping. Over generations, the business evolved with the addition of academically strong and globally exposed leadership, leading to the establishment and growth of G P Dave & Sons (Shipping).

Today, we are recognized as a trusted name in ship operations and technical support. Our team is led by experienced marine professionals with deep operational knowledge across diverse vessel types, enabling us to deliver dependable maritime solutions to ship owners and management companies worldwide.

With over a century of involvement in global shipping, we maintain long-standing relationships with respected maritime organizations in India and overseas. Our international alliances and industry presence allow us to support clients efficiently while upholding the highest professional standards. We remain committed to reliability, long-term partnerships, and continued growth in the global maritime sector.
