Founded in 1997, Tongli Shipping Pte. Ltd. originated in Yantai, China, a pivotal maritime center in Northern China. Primarily focused on dry bulk chartering, our dynamic fleet of 100 – 150 vessels has transported hundreds of millions tons of diverse cargo, including steel, coal, nickel, and iron ore. Operating various vessel types from Handy to Cape size, we have collaborated with industry giants to deliver exceptional service.
As seasoned professionals in the field of dry bulk cargo shipping, Tongli Group recognized Singapore's strategic advantages as a prime international trade hub in the Asia-Pacific region, seamlessly connected to over 600 ports worldwide. In recognition of this, we made the strategic decision to relocate our headquarter to Singapore in April 2018. This pivotal move not only facilitated our expansion efforts but also empowered us to elevate our global service capabilities. With a proven track record of fostering successful partnerships with 400 ship owners and executing over 200 first-class charterers, Tongli Shipping has firmly established itself as a front-runner in the industry.
With over 25 years of experience, Tongli Group is highly regarded for its expertise in dry cargo shipping. In addition to chartering and shipping services, we offer comprehensive operations and fleet management solutions. Our dedicated teams across Singapore, Tianjin, Yantai, and other locations work tirelessly to ensure efficient transportation and secure cargo delivery. Committed to providing reliable, customized solutions and unparalleled customer service, we aim to cultivate enduring partnerships with all our stakeholders and clients.
The Singapore office is currently designed to do all the chartering businesses, with the China offices providing consultation, customer service and logistics support.
Fleet operations are mainly implemented at Singapore: entire fleets including owned vessels, bareboat vessels and time chartered vessels will be managed by the Singapore office. Functions are also further extended to financing and ship registration.
