Our story began in early 1920’s when Cpt. Arif Bayraktar started off the business from a small machinery plant where pistons were repaired and shafts were maintained. His hard working and entrepreneur spirit soon resulted with owning a 150 dwcc coaster, named M/V SON MODA; floating within Black Sea ports mainly carrying coal.
In 1947, the company managed to build its second vessel 250 dwcc wooden coaster, M/V ŞANAL; this time floating within Marmara Sea ports again mainly carrying coal.
