Based in Egypt, Green Way Shipping operates as a specialized maritime service provider with a historical focus on the Suez Canal region and Egyptian territorial waters. Established in the mid-1980s, the company has developed a distinct profile as a local expert in vessel transit management and ship supply. It distinguishes itself through deep-rooted operational knowledge of one of the world's most critical maritime chokepoints, leveraging decades of experience to facilitate the complex logistical requirements of international shipping lines passing between the Mediterranean and the Red Sea.
The company’s origins date back to 1986, founded by leadership with extensive prior service within the Suez Canal Authority. This background provided the firm with an intricate understanding of navigation rules, convoy schedules, and regulatory compliance from its inception. A significant milestone in its corporate history occurred in 1998, when it became one of the first privately owned entities to secure a full shipping agency license. This development allowed the company to expand its operational scope significantly, moving beyond basic representation to offer comprehensive agency services across all major Egyptian ports, including Port Said and Suez.
Operationally, Green Way Shipping functions through two primary divisions: transit agency services and ship chandlery. As a transit agent, the company acts as a liaison for vessels negotiating the Suez Canal. Its teams manage the administrative and technical hurdles of transit, including the calculation and settlement of canal tolls, coordination with tugboat services, and the filing of essential documentation for southbound and northbound convoys. Their role is to ensure that client vessels meet all local requirements to avoid delays in the strictly scheduled convoy system.
Simultaneously, the company serves as a general ship supplier and logistical partner. It maintains the capability to deliver a wide array of stores to vessels alongside or at anchorage. These supplies range from fresh provisions and bonded goods to technical equipment, cabin stores, and safety gear. Beyond consumable goods, Green Way Shipping facilitates technical support services, organizing repair works, spare parts reconditioning, and parcel clearance. This dual capability—managing both the bureaucratic movement of the vessel and the physical replenishment of its crew and machinery—positions the company as a holistic service hub for the maritime sector in Egypt.
