Muscat International Shipping & Logistics

What Muscat International Shipping & Logistics does

Muscat International Shipping & Logistics LLC is a privately held Oman-based total logistics provider founded in 2007, headquartered in Muscat with a branch office in Sohar. The company operates an integrated service portfolio spanning project cargo (heavy lift transport, jacking and skidding, vessel chartering), freight forwarding (air freight, sea freight, LCL consolidation), supply chain management (consultancy through final mile delivery), warehousing and distribution, customs clearance, land transportation, and value-added services such as insurance, palletization, and exhibition logistics. Its primary customers are enterprises engaged in international trade, with a notable specialization in power generation, mining, and petrochemical project cargo across Oman, UAE, and the broader GCC region.

MIS delivers services through a hybrid model combining owned operations (warehousing, trucking fleet, in-house project cargo engineering) with carrier partnerships (Maersk, CMA CGM, Hapag Lloyd) and a worldwide agent network covering 120+ countries via memberships in four international logistics organizations (PCN, OPCA, JCILO, GAIN). The company runs a proprietary warehouse management system providing real-time inventory visibility and online/offline reporting, and operates a comprehensive online quote-request platform for air freight, sea freight, and general logistics inquiries. Pricing is fully quote-based with no published rate cards, reflecting the bespoke nature of project cargo and multi-modal logistics contracts. The company holds ISO 9001:2015 certification (established 2019) and reports handling over 1,000 containers per year for customs clearance and documentation processing.
