Unimastershipping Co is a maritime logistics and support enterprise based in Egypt, strategically located to serve the high-volume shipping traffic passing through the Suez Canal. Established in 2003, the company began operations as a focused ship chandler with a small team in Suez. Over the subsequent years, it executed an expansion strategy, moving into larger dedicated warehouse and office facilities in 2005 to accommodate a growing inventory and client base. Today, the company functions as a dual-service entity, providing both ship supply and port agency solutions to international vessel operators.
As a ship chandler, Unimastershipping Co maintains a comprehensive inventory designed to meet the diverse needs of merchant fleets. Its provision services supply vessels with fresh, frozen, and dry food products, alongside bonded stores and beverages. Beyond catering, the company acts as a technical resource, stocking deck and engine stores, cabin equipment, and electrical supplies. It specifically distributes navigational charts and maritime publications, which are essential for vessels ensuring compliance during canal transits. The technical division also handles specialized requests, such as the sourcing of European spare parts, wire ropes, lifting tools, and safety equipment, ensuring that ships can address maintenance requirements while alongside or at anchor.
In parallel with its supply activities, Unimastershipping Co operates as a full-service shipping agent. It represents ship owners, charterers, and managers across all major Egyptian ports, including Port Said, Suez, and Damietta. The agency department coordinates the complex logistical and administrative aspects of port calls, managing harbor formalities, customs clearances, and transit bookings. The company also facilitates crew changes, handling the logistics of signing personnel on and off, which is a critical service for vessels operating in the region. Its operational scope encompasses various vessel classes, including general cargo ships, bulk carriers, heavy lift vessels, and tankers. By integrating physical supply capabilities with agency representation, Unimastershipping Co acts as a logistical hub for the maritime industry, supporting the efficiency of global trade flows through one of the world’s most vital maritime corridors.
