Egyptian International Shipping Agencies & Services

Egyptian International Shipping Agencies & Services (EISAS) operates as a prominent maritime service provider within the Arab Republic of Egypt, functioning as a comprehensive shipping agency and logistics facilitator. Established in 1997 to expand the capabilities of a family-owned maritime group with roots dating back to 1978, the company has developed a robust operational network across Egypt's most critical waterways and terminals. The firm serves as a vital liaison between global vessel owners, charterers, and the local port authorities, ensuring that ships navigate the complex regulatory and physical landscape of the region with efficiency. A central pillar of the company’s operations is its management of Suez Canal transits, one of the world's most significant maritime arteries. EISAS maintains a dedicated presence in both Port Said and Suez, the northern and southern gateways to the canal, allowing their teams to coordinate northbound and southbound convoys around the clock. Their transit services encompass the calculation and settlement of canal tolls, the management of official rebates, and the handling of all necessary documentation to prevent delays for transiting vessels. This strategic focus ensures that tonnage moves seamlessly between the Mediterranean and the Red Sea. Beyond the canal, the company maintains active branch offices in major commercial hubs including Alexandria, Damietta, and Ain Sokhna. Unlike agencies that rely solely on administrative coordination, EISAS supports its logistical undertakings with tangible physical assets. The company operates a substantial inland container depot in the Ain Sokhna economic zone and specialized storage facilities, including a dangerous goods warehouse in the Port Said Free Zone and an equipment yard in Alexandria. These assets enable the firm to handle diverse cargo types, from standard containers to project cargo, offering an integrated solution that extends beyond the water's edge. The agency also provides essential husbandry and protective services designed to support the vessel’s crew and technical needs while in Egyptian waters. These auxiliary operations include coordinating crew changes, arranging for the delivery of provisions and spare parts, and managing cash-to-master deliveries. By combining decades of local expertise with a physical footprint in every major Egyptian port, Egyptian International Shipping Agencies & Services functions as a reliable partner for international maritime interests operating in the region.
