About Us

Distinguished Past

Chellaram Shipping can trace its roots to Chennai, India where in 1916 the late Kishinchand Chellaram, founder of the Group established a textile business. This was to provide the cornerstone for development of a formidable International Trading Organisation with 50 branches spread across four continents.

Mr Lal Chellaram, Group Chairman, set up the Shipping business in Hong Kong in 1979 and within a short period the Company started to manage three new vessels. Gradually more vessels were added and today Chellaram Shipping manages a large fleet of modern and versatile dry-bulk carriers from Handysize to Kamsarmax vessels.

Our heritage has been successfully built on the principles of Quality, Reliability, Integrity and Compassion.
