Neptune Lines Shipping

About Us

• In 1975, Nicolas Travlos founded Neptune Shipping Agencies S.A., a cargo and ship handling services company. Soon after, the company started representing tramp and tanker owners.

• By 1980, the Company’s activities expanded to include vessel chartering in the Mediterranean Sea.

• In the early ’80s Neptune Lines Shipping and Managing Enterprises S.A. was established, owning and operating general cargo and container vessels. By 1986, the Company was operating its first RO/RO vessel and soon after its first Pure Car Carrier (PCC).

• By the early ’90s, Neptune Lines was enjoying the recognition of major car manufacturers and had increased its fleet to support growing demand.

• During the period from late 2000 until 2006, the Company’s fleet expanded further through the ownership of newbuilding vessels.

• In 2009-2010, four new generation sister vessels were added (Neptune Odyssey, Neptune Iliad, Neptune Kefalonia and Neptune Ithaki) with 3,200 car capacity each.

• In 2014, two eco-design newbuildings, Neptune Galene and Neptune Thalassa, built in Hyundai Mipo Dockyard with latest propulsion and environmental technologies, were added to the fleet.

• In 2015, two new acquisitions, Neptune Hellas and Neptune Horizon, of approx. 3,800 car units each, bring the owned fleet to 15 vessels.
