G E Shipping was founded by the Sheths and the Bhiwandiwallas, who started their own shipping line to help expand the reach of their trading businesses. In 1948, after obtaining the mothballed Liberty ship, SS Fort Elice, G E Shipping began its maiden voyage under the entrepreneurial genius of Vasant J. Sheth and steered ahead confidently, tasting new waters and exploring new avenues. As of 2007 it had some 944 employees including sailing staff. It is listed on India's two main stock exchanges i. e. the Bombay Stock Exchange and the National Stock Exchange.
