WHO WE ARE

Experience Beyond a Century, Vision Beyond Oceans

Arsel Shıppıng: The Centennıal Authorıty Of Global Trade

Heritage & Leadership Arsel Shipping is a cornerstone of maritime history, founded a century ago by the visionary Hacı David Farkouh.

 

This journey, which began in the Mediterranean, has transformed into a global power spanning oceans. Today, remaining true to its roots, the company is owned and operated by the Bekleniç family. Under the strategic leadership of our Chairman Mustafa Ender Bekleniç, this family legacy has evolved into a modern logistics empire.

 

Fleet & Operational Power Our giant fleet of 60 modern vessels safely transports the heaviest cargoes of global industry across intercontinental routes. From iron-steel to energy, our operations manage the lifelines of the global economy, directing the flow of trade with millions of tons of capacity. Arsel is not just a carrier; it is the guarantee of industrial continuity.

 

Global Trust We provide 24/7 uninterrupted service on routes where the sun never sets. It is no coincidence that global giants like Mercedes, Hyundai, US Steel, and Tüpraş choose us as their strategic partner. This trust is the global reflection of the operational discipline and the tradition of "keeping one's word" that the Bekleniç family has preserved for generations.

 

Conclusion Names, technologies, and routes change; but Arsel’s stance on the seas remains absolute. With the experience of the past and the vision of the future, we carry global trade on our shoulders.

OUR MISSION

Mission "To ensure the uninterrupted intercontinental flow of raw materials and energy resources required by the global industry, through our century of experience, strong fleet, and principles of operational excellence.

To add value to the continuity of the global economy by generating safe, efficient, and sustainable logistics solutions for our partners within the supply chain of world trade."

We manage this operational power with a profound sense of responsibility toward the future. Our modernization investments minimizing carbon emissions and full compliance with international environmental standards (IMO) are integral parts of our commercial strategy. Merging its centennial heritage with 'Green Shipping' principles and a vision of sustainable growth, Arsel Shipping pioneers the transformation of the industry

CORE VALUES:

Unshakable Trust & Ethical Integrity

For us, reputation holds more value than the figures on a balance sheet. In our commercial tradition, which began a century ago with Hacı David Farkouh and continues today with the Bekleniç family, 'our word' is the most binding contract. Transparency, honesty, and full compliance with ethical codes form the unshakable foundation of our global stance

Passion for Operational Excellence

We reject mediocrity. In managing our giant fleet of 60 vessels and our global logistics network, we apply a discipline that exceeds international standards. In the maritime sector, where there is no margin for error, we manage our business not by chance, but through processes driven by knowledge, technology, and engineering precision

Responsibility to the Future & Respect for People

We view the seas not as an inheritance, but as a trust for future generations. In all our operations, we act on the principles of 'people first' and 'environment first.' We regard sustainable investments that reduce our carbon footprint and the highest standards of occupational safety as an essential requirement of our corporate citizenship consciousness
