Cometas Shipping Company

Cometas Shipping Company was founded on March 13th 1991 in Mariupol, Ukraine by three sound shareholders: Azov Shipping Company, “Azovstal” Metallurgical Plant and Zasyadko Coal Mine. At that time the Company possessed only one vessel m/v “Zaporozhye” (DWT 22 896 mt).

Consolidating the relationship with foreign partners the staff of Cometas Shipping Company in 1994 successfully has performed joint project with RZB Bank London.

Soon two more vessels were added to the project: in November of 1995 – m/v “Mariupol Star” (DWT 15927 mt) and in June 1996 – m/v “Manley Havant”.

December of 1995 was the most successful for “Cometas”: m/v “Manley Falmouth” was purchased and renamed to m/v “Cometas”, and then m/v “Azovlloyd”(former “Manley Devon”) became the property of the Company. Achievements of the company were awarded by the international reward "The Birmingham Torch".
