Over the past five years, Danica Crewing Specialists has developed a strong and reliable cooperation with Newport S.A. and Grehel Shipmanagement Co., a partnership built on shared standards and long-term vision.

Based in Piraeus, Greece, Newport S.A. is an established ship management company specializing in dry bulk transportation, with a strong focus on the global carriage of essential commodities such as grains. Since its foundation in 2004, the company has built a solid reputation for reliability, efficiency, and high operational standards.

Closely connected, Grehel Shipmanagement complements this structure by providing technical and commercial management across a growing fleet of bulk carriers. Together, Newport and Grehel currently operate a fleet of 40 bulk carriers across the Handysize, Supramax, and Kamsarmax segments, offering stable employment opportunities and a dynamic worldwide trading profile.

The Group continues to demonstrate steady growth, with a clear focus on fleet expansion and renewal. Over the next two years, a significant development project is planned, including the delivery of more than five new bulk carriers ranging from Handy to Panamax size. This ongoing investment reflects strong confidence in the dry bulk market and a commitment to maintaining a modern and competitive fleet.

For seafarers, working with Newport and Grehel means joining a professional and well-structured organization where safety, operational excellence, and crew performance are key priorities. Particular attention is given to crew welfare: vessels are maintained to a high standard, accommodation and living spaces are kept comfortable and well-equipped, and crews benefit from reliable onboard facilities that support everyday life at sea.

The companies promote a respectful and supportive working environment, with clear communication between ship and shore, well-organized operations, and a strong safety culture. This creates conditions where seafarers can focus on their duties, feel valued, and perform confidently.

At Danica, we value partnerships that provide not only employment, but also consistency and career development. Our cooperation with Newport and Grehel is built on mutual trust, shared standards, and a long-term outlook.

We look forward to continuing this successful collaboration and welcoming more seafarers to join their fleet.
