About Us
Reliable maritime transportation with experience rooted in the seafaring families of Marmara Island.
Our Maritime Heritage,
Confidence for the Future
Arel Shipping was founded in the late 1990s by Ahmet Önel and Mehmet Akın. Our founders, from the deep-rooted seafaring families of Marmara Island, combined their maritime experience under the Arel Shipping umbrella.
Having acquired its first vessel in early 2000 to begin its shipowning journey, the company currently provides transportation services in cabotage and international waters with its owned and chartered fleet.
Starting as a chartering company, the firm expanded its fleet over time and achieved a significant position in dry bulk shipping. Today, with vessels of various tonnages, it continues to be a reliable partner across Turkish and international waters.
