Ownership & Management
LYDIA SHIPPING LTD-MAI appears to be a vessel owning/management entity associated with the tanker LYDIA KA. Public vessel databases identify it as the registered owner of LYDIA KA, while another maritime source lists TRANS KA TANKER as the vessel’s ISM and commercial manager.
⚠ Red Flags
- Shared c/o address with another maritime company
- Public sources show different roles for LYDIA KA across databases, indicating a layered ownership/management structure
- No beneficial-owner information found in public vessel sources
White Tankers Gemi Islet is a Türkiye-based maritime company associated with tanker management and commercial/ISM management functions. Public vessel database data links it to LYDIA KA, and sources indicate it manages a small tanker fleet rather than a broad diversified shipping group.
⚠ Red Flags
- Shared maritime office address in Tuzla, Istanbul
- Limited public transparency on beneficial ownership
- Fleet appears concentrated in tanker operations
- Multiple data sources show the company in a manager/owner role for the same vessel, which may indicate tightly held corporate control
