Elmoutaz Maritime Agency

Elmoutaz Maritime Agency operates as a specialized marine service provider based in Egypt, distinguishing itself through a dual focus on vessel agency and ship chandlery. Headquartered in Alexandria, a historic hub for Mediterranean shipping, the company maintains a broad operational footprint that spans the entirety of the Egyptian port network. Its reach extends from the Mediterranean terminals of Alexandria, Damietta, and Port Said to the Red Sea ports of Suez, Safaga, Adabiya, and Sokhna. This geographical distribution allows the firm to support vessels traversing one of the world’s most critical maritime arteries, the Suez Canal. The organization traces its commercial roots back to the mid-1990s, originally established to serve the provisioning needs of merchant vessels. Over the subsequent decades, it expanded its scope significantly, transitioning from a dedicated ship supplier into a full-service maritime agency. By the mid-2000s, the company had formally integrated comprehensive agency services into its portfolio, enabling it to represent ship owners and charterers directly. In this capacity, Elmoutaz Maritime Agency manages the complex logistical and administrative requirements of port calls, including interactions with local authorities, customs clearance, and port formalities. A central component of its operations involves facilitating transits through the Suez Canal. The agency coordinates the intricate procedures required for convoy participation, ensuring vessels meet the strict regulatory standards of the canal authority. Beyond administrative representation, the company provides essential husbandry services, such as crew changes, medical assistance for seafarers, and cash-to-master deliveries, ensuring continuous vessel operation without operational delays. Complementing its agency work, the firm continues to function as a prominent ship chandler and technical supplier. It provisions fleets with a wide array of stores, ranging from fresh and frozen food to bonded goods and cabin supplies. The company also offers technical support services, including deck and engine stores, safety equipment, and workshop repairs such as motor rewinding and cylinder refilling. Through its membership in recognized industry bodies, such as the Alexandria Chamber of Shipping and the International Shipsuppliers & Services Association, Elmoutaz Maritime Agency maintains its standing as a verified participant in the regional maritime supply chain, supporting both commercial shipping and technical vessel maintenance across the region.
