Our Origins
Castaloop was founded in 2016 with a clear purpose, to make a difference in all we undertake for the many customers in the maritime transportation industry.
Born through a partnership between Groupe Bellemare and Groupe Somavrac, and led by Philip O’Brien, Castaloop has defined itself as a true and reliable alternative in stevedoring and terminal handling.
Castaloop’s service offer focuses on customers feeling respected and where the word « partnership » has a genuine meaning.
A modern, energetic leadership of integrity, coupled to a highly experienced and flexible team; That’s Castaloop.
Firmly wishing to push its area of expertise further, Castaloop enlisted two business partners with similar visions and aspirations: Group Bellemare and Group Somavrac.Leaders in their respective markets, these two privately held firms have, over the last half century, cumulated an invaluable wealth of complimentary expertise and a business vision that has left its mark. Their alliance shapes and fosters Castaloop’s purpose.
