Gold Star Shipping was formed in 1994 and since then it has been offering shipping and combined transport services. The company succeeded a shipping agency which for some fifteen years represented overseas carriers offering weekly sailings from the port of Piraeus to the Red sea ports Southbound and fortnightly sailings to U.K. North West Continent Northbound. The need to provide its customers with a broader package of services led to the latest form of Gold Star. The company adopted the modern concept of transport from the very beginning and it is now able to provide for high quality and standards shipping and logistic services. From the outset the results were very encouraging and now Gold Star Shipping is among the leading shipping and freight forwarding companies in Greece, with a wide variety of services offered. The range of activities has extended to include all of the aspects related to shipping.
