Based in Egypt, Seabird Marine Services is a well-established maritime logistics and support entity that has operated within the region’s shipping sector for over four decades. Founded in 1981, the company has developed a reputation as a multifaceted service provider, maintaining a strategic physical presence across major Egyptian maritime hubs, including Port Said, Suez, and Alexandria. Its operational footprint allows it to directly serve vessels traversing the Suez Canal, one of the world's most critical trade arteries, as well as those calling at Egyptian commercial ports for cargo operations.
The company’s core identity is built upon two primary pillars: ship agency representation and vessel chandling. As a dedicated Suez Canal transit agent, Seabird Marine Services manages the intricate administrative, financial, and logistical procedures required for safe passage between the Red Sea and the Mediterranean. This involves precise coordination with canal authorities for convoy schedules, calculation and settlement of transit tolls, and the provision of official rebate assessments. Beyond transit formalities, the firm acts as a comprehensive protecting agent, safeguarding the interests of international shipowners, managers, and charterers during complex port calls.
Parallel to its agency work, the company maintains a robust ship chandling and logistics division. Leveraging local warehousing infrastructure, including facilities in free trade zones, it supplies a wide array of merchant vessel requirements. These deliverables range from fresh provisions and bonded stores to critical deck and engine technical supplies, ensuring that ships can replenish essential stocks efficiently. The organization also supports the technical needs of the maritime industry through spare parts logistics, facilitating the clearance and delivery of ship spares to vessels in transit or at berth. Furthermore, Seabird Marine Services extends its operational scope to the offshore energy sector, providing husbandry services, crew change assistance, and support for oil and gas exploration activities in the region. By integrating agency representation with physical supply chain solutions, the company functions as a comprehensive local intermediary for global shipping lines operating throughout the Eastern Mediterranean and Red Sea.
