Flag of Kaşif Kalakavan - Image by Ivan Sache, 15 December 2019
Kaşif Kalakavan Shipping Group was one of the many shipping groups of companies that are owned by the Kalkavan family. The group established Turkon Line in 1997. The company appears to have been renamed to Kaşif Kalakavan Shipping S.A. (Kaşif Denizcilik A.Ş; website) and incorporated into Turkon Holding.
Kaşif Kalkavan started shipping operations in 1954 in the way of his father and grandfather. However, considering the specialization in this profession from the grandfather, the establishment of the company dates back to 1875.
In addition to its vessels within Turkon Holding, Kaşif Denizcilik also provides operation and crewing services to third party companies. Generally, the ship operation is to meet the material, spare parts and catering needs of the ships; to ensure the efficient operation of ships without delay, to conduct ISM inspections on a regular basis and to ensure that the survey and certification works are completed and pooled at regular intervals.
The house flag of Kaşif Kalakavan Shipping Group was vertically divided white-red (eight white stripes, seven red stripes) with the company's emblem, composed of the name "K Kalkavan" shaped like a ship, over three horizontal blue line and the company name.
The emblem is still used by Kaşif Kalakavan Shipping S.A., with appropriate name.
