ABOUT TSL

Thompson Shipping Lines (TSL) was established in 2018 by Seacorp's Owner and Managing Director, Craig Thompson, and is headquartered in Fremantle, Western Australia. 

​

The company's involvement in dry bulk shipping combines an established commercial operating business (formerly known as Triomphe Shipping) with a growing fleet of owned Handysize vessels.

​

TSL is ultimately owned by Thompson Equity Group Pty Ltd, and operates with a long-term focus on quality tonnage, disciplined commercial management and strong relationships with charterers, brokers and other industry players.​​

Our Specialities

Ownership

TSL operates a fleet of high-quality, Japanese-built Handysize vessels maintained to excellent standards.

 

Our vessels are predominantly maintained within grain-clean trading patterns, reflecting TSL's strong focus on the transportation of grains and agricultural commodities.

 

We take a long-term approach to vessel ownership, with a strong emphasis on proactive maintenance, reliability and operational performance. TSL intends to continue expanding its owned fleet through disciplined acquisitions of quality tonnage when suitable opportunities and market conditions arise.

Operating

TSL specialises in the international transportation of dry bulk commodities including grains, oil seeds and fertilisers.

 

Our particular strength lies in complex trade routes, connecting major grain-producing regions with destinations across Asia, the Middle East and other emerging markets.

 

Our experience with more challenging ports and destinations enables us to provide tailored freight solutions beyond conventional grain routes.

 

Our primary focus is within the Handysize to Ultramax segments, with chartered tonnage predominantly maintained within grain-clean trading patterns. TSL also has particular expertise in the Australian fertiliser trade.
