Based in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia, Sealand Maritime Group (SMG) is a multifaceted service provider dedicated to the marine, offshore, and industrial sectors. Established in 2009, the company has evolved from a regional entity into a comprehensive maritime solutions organization, maintaining its headquarters in Ras Tanura with additional operational hubs in Dammam, Jubail, Al-Khobar, and internationally in Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates. The group functions primarily as a support infrastructure for vessel operators and industrial contractors, integrating shipping agency roles with technical engineering and supply chain management.
At the core of its operations, SMG serves as a port and shipping agency, managing the complex logistics required when vessels call at major Arabian Gulf terminals. This division handles full agency services, protective agency work, and husbandry matters, ensuring that administrative clearances, crew assistance, and cargo handling proceed without delay. Unlike firms that focus solely on paperwork, SMG simultaneously operates a robust technical division. This arm of the company provides essential maintenance support, including electrical and mechanical repairs, hull fabrication, and navigation equipment surveys. The group is notably specialized in fluid power technology, operating facilities for hose manufacturing and providing hydraulic solutions that cater to the rigorous demands of offshore environments.
Beyond direct vessel support, the company acts as a critical supplier through its trading and ship chandling activities. As a member of the International Shipsuppliers & Services Association (ISSA), SMG provisions ships with fresh stocks, technical stores, and safety equipment. Their trading division extends to the land-based energy sector, supplying pipes, fittings, valves, and industrial consumables to EPC contractors and oil and gas facilities. This vertical integration allows the company to support a project’s lifecycle from the quay side to the industrial site.
Strategically, Sealand Maritime Group aligns its operational growth with the region's broader economic diversification goals, including Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 initiatives. By combining logistics, specialized manufacturing, and marine engineering under one umbrella, the company supports the seamless flow of maritime commerce in the Gulf, positioning itself as a key logistical partner for both commercial shipping lines and energy sector operators within the region.
