In brief
Star Shipping was a shipping company based in Bergen, Norway that in 2008 operated 60–70 vessels with a total of 3 million deadweight tonnes. It was founded in 1961 as a joint venture between Grieg Group and Masterbulk. The main area of co-operation was in industrial transport of forest products with 50 open hatch ships. It also operated 20 handysize and handymax bulk carriers as well as two container ships, and was the operator of Squamish Terminals in British Columbia, Canada. The ships were owned by the two parent companies.
The company's open hatch ships were also well-suited for carrying containers and in the early 1970s Star Shipping provided strong competition with established container shipping lines on some routes.
In 2009, the two companies demerged the Star Shipping business with the Grieg Group keeping the business name as Grieg Star Shipping. The Canadian terminal operations also remained with Grieg. In 2017, Grieg Star formed a new joint venture pool with Gearbulk named G2 Ocean, consisting of some 130 bulk carriers.

In context
Counts over companies and vessels actually held in this directory — not over the world fleet, which is larger. Nothing here is estimated.
With 22 vessels attributed to it here, Star Shipping is the 35th largest of the 965 operators in this directory that hold at least one ship on record, against a median of 2 across that group. That is a count of individually identified hulls, not the company’s published fleet size — the two are different measurements and both are shown above where available.
Norway is the country of registration for 150 commercial operators in this directory, among which Star Shipping ranks 7th by ships on record. Between them those companies hold 831 vessels here. See every operator registered in Norway.
