Gefo Shipping

Decades of experience. Shaping a sustainable future. GEFO was founded in 1961, in Hamburg. Written out in full, the name GEFO translates as Company for Oil Transport Ltd, which shows just how far we have grown since the 60s. What began as an exclusively inland operation barging oil on the Rhine is now a thriving international network specialising in chemical liquids, LPG´s, liquid gases, mineral oil and worldwide bunker trading. Currently, the GEFO Shipping Group fleet comprises around 150 modern coastal and inland vessels. Successfully shipping more than 18 million metric tons per year and building on our commitment to rigorous HSSEQ, we continue to register safe and sustainable growth. A sense of responsibility is part of our culture: We stand for the highest safety standards and robust HSSEQ management systems, for effective cooperation and support for our employees and for the best possible client service. And we firmly believe that sustainable, financially sound operations, investments in efficient and low-emission technologies and consideration for our ecosystems will guarantee economic success in the future. We are encouraged by the fact that GEFO was ranked 21st among the 260 best family businesses in Germany by WirtschaftsWoche in 2021. www.gefo.com
