Al Hadidi Co Marine Services

Al Hadidi Co Marine Services, frequently referred to by its trade acronym AMSCO, is a prominent maritime logistics and support entity headquartered in Egypt. Established in the late 1980s, the company has evolved from its origins as a general ship supplier into a diversified marine contractor and port service provider. It operates primarily within the strategic maritime hubs of North Africa, offering a suite of solutions designed to support vessels traversing the Suez Canal and calling at major Egyptian terminals. Throughout its history, the company has focused on meeting the operational demands of merchant vessels, including cargo ships, tankers, and bulk carriers. Its core identity remains rooted in ship chandling, where it functions as a comprehensive provider of provisions and technical stores. The company maintains the capability to supply fresh and dry provisions, bonded stores, and cabin supplies, ensuring that vessels are stocked for long voyages. Beyond consumables, it supplies deck and engine equipment, safety gear, and nautical publications, addressing the technical maintenance needs of shipboard machinery and navigation departments. Over the decades, Al Hadidi Co Marine Services expanded its portfolio to include logistical and agency support. It acts as a shipping agency, facilitating smooth transit and port calls for varied tonnage. This role involves coordinating Suez Canal transits, handling port formalities, and managing crew changes, which are critical for maintaining vessel schedules in high-traffic zones. The company also provides customs clearance services for spare parts, managing the complex logistics of delivering essential components to ships in transit or at berth. In addition to supply and agency work, the company engages in technical and environmental support operations. It maintains a network of workshops capable of executing ship repairs, ranging from general engine overhauls to electric and radio surveys. Complementing these technical services, the company offers environmental solutions such as the collection and disposal of sludge, bilge water, and garbage, as well as tank cleaning services. Operating 24 hours a day across key locations such as Port Said, Suez, Damietta, and Alexandria, Al Hadidi Co Marine Services serves as a central support node in the Eastern Mediterranean and Red Sea regions. Its integrated approach allows ship owners and managers to source multiple essential services—from food and spare parts to repairs and regulatory compliance—through a single operational partner within the Egyptian maritime sector.
