• GMS is the FIRST and ONLY CASH BUYER in the world to be ISO 9001:2000 certified by BVQi (USA).
• GMS is the ONLY CASH BUYER to successfully negotiate an average of 120+ vessels each year, for the last 7 years.

• In 2002, GMS shattered the 1,000,000 LDT barrier for the first time, by negotiating in excess of 1.0 M LDT (excess 4.1 million DWT) of vessels for recycling.
