Two Decades of Maritime Excellence
Established in 2002 in Piraeus, Greece, CS Tanker has grown from a single-vessel operation into one of the most respected independent tanker companies in the world — built on precision, trust, and an uncompromising commitment to safety.
Built on the Foundations of the Sea
CS Tanker was founded in 2002 by a group of experienced Greek maritime professionals who believed that specialization, transparency, and a genuine partnership approach could redefine what a tanker company could be.
From our headquarters in Piraeus — the heart of global shipping — we have steadily grown our fleet and our reputation. Today, CS Tanker operates 36 vessels across three categories: VLCC crude tankers, LNG carriers, and MR/LR product tankers.
Our clients include major international oil companies, national oil companies, and commodity trading houses. We are proud to be a trusted partner for some of the world's most demanding energy supply chains.
