HSL S.C. was established in 1996 in the commercial heart of Piraeus through the merging together of Lesvos Maritime S.C. and Theometor S.C., two of the leading shipping companies trading between Greece and East Mediterranean during the 70s. In its long history over the years the company has owned and operated more than 20 general cargo vessels up to 1,000 register tonnage in East Mediterranean seven of which were operated simultaneously during the 90s. Therefore, its experience is unique in the full essence of how to run shortsea general cargo vessels. It is able to offer a range of ship management and marine transportation services, including crew manning and operational services. Hellenic Sea Lines currently operates a modern fleet of general cargo vessels with Greek Flag and classed with major IACS Classification Societies. It is a well-established player in the field and has the capacity, experience and aspirations to further expand depending on market conditions.
HSL seeks to provide safe, reliable and cost-effective sea transportation services and continue to be a leading provider of shipping management services.
