World Seas Shipping Services is a specialized maritime logistics and support provider that serves the commercial shipping, offshore, and military sectors. Established in 2011, the company has developed a reputation as a comprehensive "one-stop" solution for vessels entering ports across the Arabian Gulf and beyond. Headquartered in Al Hidd, it operates with a focus on minimizing vessel downtime through a 24-hour support structure, ensuring that port calls are handled efficiently for ship owners and operators.
The company’s core identity is defined by its dual capability in ship agency and supply chain management. As a port agent, World Seas Shipping Services manages the complex administrative and operational requirements of vessel calls. This includes handling port clearance, immigration formalities, berthing arrangements, and owners’ protective agency work. Its husbandry teams facilitate crew changes, visa processing, and medical assistance, ensuring that human resources are managed as smoothly as cargo operations. The firm services a diverse range of vessels, from commercial tankers and bulk carriers to yachts and offshore support units.
Beyond agency duties, the company is a prominent ship chandler and logistics provider. It maintains warehouses capable of storing frozen, dry, and fresh provisions, adhering to strict food safety standards to supply vessels with essential consumables. The supply division also extends to technical marine equipment, bonded stores, deck and engine supplies, and spare parts. This logistical strength is supported by freight forwarding capabilities, allowing the firm to manage sea and air freight for spare parts delivery, cargo clearance, and warehousing.
A distinguishing feature of World Seas Shipping Services is its involvement in military logistics. Drawing on the specific expertise of its leadership, the company provides tailored logistical support to naval and armed forces, addressing the unique security and efficiency demands of military vessel operations. While its primary operational hub is in Bahrain, the company has expanded its reach through a network of branches and strategic partnerships covering key maritime hubs in the Middle East, the United Kingdom, and the United States, positioning itself as a regional entity with global connectivity in the marine services market.
