Basic Strategy

Combining a renowned shipping brand with excellence in ship management, capturing cultural and core value alignment and taking advantage of continued investment in cutting-edge technology, Empire DLAT Ltd. can manage all types of Vessels including Oil / Chemical tankers, Dry Bulk, RO-RO, Offshore, Passenger, Container among others, from its Piraeus and Mumbai offices.

As a newly formed combined JV group we provide the amalgamation of a strong legacy in shipping with modern, focused practices along with a diverse, hard working and truly international network to serve ship owners globally with a localized as well as with a personalized approach.  Ship owners will feel as if their ships are being managed within the family, with a level of quality and hands-on approach they would expect but combined with modern digital systems that enhance the efficiency of operations and keep costs to a minimum.  We feel Empire DLAT are filling a void in the ship management market that is very important in today’s ever changing environmentally focused world, where we have access to all the latest technologies to improve the ship’s performance to meet the new IMO standards and global environmental accords.

The Group can manage any type of ship (dry or tankers) and has ships on timecharter with major oil companies which require high TMSA compliance levels.  Similarly the company (due to the long time management of tankers) has an exemplary record in vessel approval ratings from oil majors and from Rightship (used primarily for Dry Cargo vessels) as well as from Port State Control (USCG, Paris MOU, Tokyo MOU) inspections.  The basis for such a good record is reliant on the continuous implementation and improvement of our registered SMS (Safety Management System) that is followed rigorously by all levels for many years now.  This knowledge and systems have been built and improved over time, enhancing Group’s ship management experience.

The Group’s philosophy and business strategy is to focus on modern and efficient vessels and to operate them with the most sophisticated management systems available in the market, maintaining safe operations as the core of all activities.
