Seaways Marine serves as a multifaceted maritime support organization, deeply integrated into the logistical and operational infrastructure of the Suez Canal and Egyptian ports. Established in 1989, the company has spent decades developing a service network that caters to the diverse needs of commercial vessels, ensuring continuity for ships transiting one of the world's most critical maritime chokepoints.
The company’s operations are anchored in its ability to function as a comprehensive ship chandler and supplier. Through a robust supply chain management system, Seaways Marine provides vessels with essential provisions, including fresh and dry foods, bonded stores, and cabin supplies. Beyond basic consumables, the company supports technical vessel readiness by supplying deck and engine stores, safety equipment, and navigational charts. These logistics are managed through warehouses strategically located near key harbors, allowing for rapid deployment to vessels calling at Alexandria, Damietta, Suez, Adabiya, and Safaga.
In addition to physical supplies, Seaways Marine plays a significant role as a shipping and transit agent. The organization specializes in navigating the complex regulatory environment of the Suez Canal, acting as a liaison between vessel operators and local authorities. Their agency services encompass transit coordination, toll management, and husbandry duties, such as facilitating crew changes and medical assistance. This local expertise is vital for shipowners seeking to minimize delays and ensure compliance with regional maritime protocols during canal transits.
The company also distinguishes itself through specialized technical and underwater services. Seaways Marine operates diving teams capable of executing hull cleaning, propeller polishing, and underwater inspections. These technical teams hold approvals from major classification societies to conduct in-water surveys, providing essential maintenance and damage assessment without requiring vessels to dry-dock. By combining logistics, agency representation, and technical maintenance into a single operational framework, Seaways Marine functions as a central support hub for the global merchant fleet operating within Egyptian waters and the Red Sea region.
