A leading dry-bulk shipowner and manager, Tomini Group is wholly owned by the Shaikh family and has owned and managed commercial vessels since its founding in 1950.
The family has always valued operating with honor and ethics at the forefront of business, along with the spirit of partnership and collaboration to face new challenges within the industry. Chief among these challenges is decarbonization.
Numair Shaikh, a fourth-generation member of the family and CEO of Tomini Group since 2021, is intent on providing leading dry-bulk solutions to all stakeholders.
“With a modern and efficient fleet, our vision is to be a leading private dry-bulk owner with an unwavering commitment to clients and best-in-class, all-inclusive ship management services,” Shaikh said.
Offering a comprehensive in-house management approach, Tomini Group offers commercial, technical and crew management services. Its headquarters in Dubai manages two crewing offices in Mumbai and Karachi, ensuring a close relationship with crews aboard their 25 owned vessels. These include handysize, ultramax, kamsarmax and capesize vessels with a combined deadweight capacity of over 2 million tons and an average age of just six years.
Connecting Japan
In line with this modern approach, Tomini Group has been partnering with Japanese owners to operate ultramodern and efficient vessels. As owners themselves, they pride themselves on having expert teams ready to work at the highest levels.
Japanese partners are therefore able to access a reliable and flexible operator in Tomini, with a few major owners already committing vessels.

“We achieved unprecedented growth in recent years and doubled the size of our fleet, now reaching into all major dry bulk segments,” Shaikh said.
“We intend to continue on our growth path at a steady and conservative pace, ensuring that the high level of quality we’ve come to represent is always present.”
Having recently won the prestigious Sustainable Shipping Award at the 2023 Maritime Standard Awards, Tomini continues to prioritize being safe, secure and sustainable when operating its worldwide trading fleet. This has been advanced by Tomini’s suite of technological upgrades (hardware and software), which are expected to improve existing vessel emissions by 10% to 14%. This has been developed in-house by Tomini’s expert technical team, and is expected to be rolled out to the entire owned fleet by 2026 with a few vessels already receiving this new performance package.
The recent partnership with vessel performance and energy-efficiency experts Enerva Marine Solutions aims to reduce emissions as part of Tomini Group’s future decarbonization strategy.
