WHERE WE OPERATE

Kaftas Shipping is present on three continents and serves numerous markets. The foundation of Kaftas Shipping is a forward-thinking strategy centered on customer needs, dependable service, and corporate growth. The business has made investments in three crucial areas in line with this strategy:

OUR LEGACY

Kaftas Shipping is redefining the standard for how things are done in the shipping and logistics industries. The company was founded on an entrepreneurial spirit and years of amassed expertise. Kaftas Shipping and Logistics, a Turkish company, was established in early 2017. Kaftas Shipping, despite its relatively recent entry into the market, used its strong leadership and inventive approach to fulfill its aim of having worldwide coverage in areas it considers healthy, secure, and capable of slow expansion.

Instead of emphasizing inorganic expansion, the group chose to promote a consultancy strategy that prioritized its customers. Strategic alliances from both ends of the spectrum were able to form as a result of letting our clients concentrate on their main businesses, whether shipping or something else. As a transportation company, we take seriously our obligation to suggest and provide ground-breaking ideas from the commodities sector in order to support the operations of our clients. Our global footprint, which now includes regional offices in the United Kingdom and South Africa, has grown and will continue to do so as part of our story.

OUR VALUES

Operating rules for Kaftas Shipping include a list of non-negotiable principles. According to Kaftas Shipping, a business must first be accountable to itself, its stakeholders, and the general public in order to succeed. Kaftas Shipping’s corporate citizenship program aims to continue having a beneficial influence on the societies and economies in which it operates.

HEALTH, SAFETY & ENVIRONMENT

Kaftas Shipping adheres to its health, safety, and environmental policies without exception. Our commitment is supported by the conviction that putting our clients, workers, stakeholders, and environment first is the foundation for obtaining our operating license.
