Middle East Fuji Khimji Shipping (MFKS) operates as a maritime service provider within the Arabian Peninsula, functioning as a joint venture between regional entities. Headquartered in Fujairah, the company facilitates a wide range of shipping and port agency activities across the United Arab Emirates and the Sultanate of Oman. Its primary role involves managing the requirements of vessel port calls, ensuring that shipowners and operators receive operational support while in territorial waters.
The agency manages essential formalities including vessel clearance, coordination with port authorities, and the processing of customs and immigration documentation. Field operations cover various husbandry services, such as the organization of crew changes, medical assistance for seafarers, and the delivery of ship stores and spare parts. Additionally, the company coordinates bunkering schedules and provides logistical oversight for vessels undergoing dry docking or repairs. These activities are supported by a local presence in maritime hubs, including Jebel Ali, Abu Dhabi, Khorfakkan, and Sharjah in the United Arab Emirates, as well as Sohar, Salalah, and Duqm in Oman.
Technical proficiency and safety standards are integrated into the operational framework. MFKS maintains several international certifications, including ISO 9001:2015 for quality management, ISO 14001:2015 for environmental standards, and ISO 45001:2018 for occupational health and safety. These benchmarks guide the handling of diverse vessel types, ranging from tankers and bulk carriers to container ships and offshore support vessels. By maintaining direct communication with local government bodies and terminal operators, the company ensures that port stays are managed to address the specific regulatory and logistical demands of the Middle Eastern shipping corridors. This includes the management of technical documentation and local operational assistance for international maritime stakeholders.
