FY26 revenue growth was 2.5% at GE Shipping, 46.6% at Seamec and 7.4% at Shipping Corporation. P\/E stands at 5.84 for GE Shipping (industry 8.78), 15.56 for Seamec (industry 36.27) and 8.31 for Shipping Corporation (industry 8.78). Demand cycles, input costs and valuation decide how much of that growth the market keeps paying for, so each company&#8217;s risks need equal attention.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Shipping stocks give investors exposure to the vessels that carry India&#8217;s crude oil, cargo and offshore energy work. Results depend on freight rates, fleet size and the shipping cycle, which is why balance sheet strength matters as much as headline growth.<\/p>\n<p>This list covers three offshore and marine transport stocks: The Great Eastern Shipping Company for crude and product tankers and dry bulk carriers, Seamec for offshore support vessels and diving support vessels for the energy sector and Shipping Corporation of India for tankers, bulk carriers and liner services under government ownership. Every figure comes from the latest reported financials and the 6 October 2026 market close. Companies without complete current figures were left out.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top:24px;\"><a
