Unimas

Unimas, formally known as Universal Maritime Services, is a specialized shipping agency headquartered in Alexandria, Egypt. The company functions as a central intermediary within the Egyptian maritime infrastructure, specifically serving the major hubs of Alexandria, Dekheila, Damietta, and Port Said. Its primary operational focus lies in facilitating the entry and exit of international vessels through Egyptian territorial waters and the Suez Canal. As a dedicated port agent, the firm manages the logistics involved in vessel clearance, ensuring that all local regulatory requirements are met before a ship docks or begins its transit. The organization handles a wide spectrum of maritime responsibilities, ranging from vessel husbandry and crew changes to the coordination of port stays. By maintaining a presence in Egypt’s primary shipping corridors, the company provides support for ship owners and operators who require local expertise to navigate administrative and technical procedures. This includes managing documentation for customs and port authorities, arranging for pilotage, and overseeing loading and unloading processes to ensure efficient turnaround times. In addition to standard port agency duties, the company plays an active role in Suez Canal transit arrangements, where precise timing and adherence to strict regulations are critical for global trade. The agency coordinates the necessary permits and financial settlements required for canal passage, serving as a point of contact for foreign vessels. The operations are supported by personnel who monitor vessel movements around the clock, addressing logistical shifts or port congestion. Through these integrated services, the company acts as a link in the maritime supply chain, supporting the operational efficiency of various vessel types, including dry bulk carriers, tankers, and container ships, within the Mediterranean and Red Sea regions.
