OUR VESSELS

Arkas began operations as a vessel equipper in 1996. Arkas' first step was to build a fleet of three vessels by purchasing the Spanish-built 580 TEU (its first name was M/V VIVIEN A) and the 580 TEU (its first name was M/V WANDA A) from Singapore in 1996, and then adding the 569 TEU (its first name was M/V DIANE A) to the fleet in 1998. In 1999, the Arkas fleet was expanded with the addition of the 1,022 TEU M/V AYŞE A (its first name was BERNARD A), 1,022 TEU M/V ESRA A and the 540 TEU (its first name was M/V CLAIRE A).

In 2000, new vessels were ordered from the Peene Werft shipyards in Germany in order to increase the fleet's capacity and update it technologically. The newly-constructed 1,208 TEU M/V DANIEL A and M/V YİĞİTCAN A were added to the fleet in 2001. In 2002 1,221 TEU M/V AURETTE A and M/V LUCIEN G. A were added.The Danish-built 976 TEU MSC ŞEBNEM was also purchased in 2002 in partnership with MSC.
