Arabtecgroup

Arabtecgroup is a specialized maritime service provider and ship chandler headquartered in Port Said, Egypt. Established in February 1999, the company has developed a distinct identity within the regional shipping sector, operating primarily as a logistical and technical support hub for vessels transiting the Suez Canal and calling at Egyptian ports. Unlike the similarly named construction conglomerate that historically operated in the UAE, this entity is exclusively focused on the marine, offshore, and shipping industries, delivering a comprehensive suite of solutions designed to maintain vessel continuity and operational readiness. The company’s operations are strategically centered around the Suez Canal, one of the world’s most critical maritime trade arteries. From its base in Port Said and branches in locations such as Alexandria, Arabtecgroup leverages its proximity to this transit corridor to service a diverse international fleet. The organization functions as a "one-stop" support center, enabling vessels to restock and undergo necessary maintenance without significant deviation from their scheduled routes. This geographic advantage allows the company to execute time-sensitive deliveries and services 24 hours a day, facilitating the smooth flow of maritime traffic through the region. Arabtecgroup’s core activities encompass a wide array of marine supplies and technical services. As a ship chandler, it provides vessels with essential provisions, including fresh and frozen foods, bonded stores, and cabin supplies. Beyond basic provisioning, the company manages complex logistical tasks such as the customs clearance of spare parts and parcels, ensuring that critical technical components reach ships efficiently. The firm also facilitates crew changes, handling airport transfers, accommodation, and the necessary documentation to rotate personnel safely and legally. In the technical domain, Arabtecgroup engages in ship repair and maintenance. Its capabilities extend to general engine repairs, electrical works, motor rewinding, and fabrication. The company also oversees the renewal of vital safety certifications, including radio surveys, life raft inspections, and fire-fighting equipment validation. By integrating supply chain management with technical repair and safety compliance, Arabtecgroup serves as a fundamental support node in the Eastern Mediterranean and Red Sea maritime infrastructure, ensuring that commercial and offshore vessels remain compliant, stocked, and seaworthy throughout their voyages.
