Sealand Maritime Group

What Sealand Maritime Group does

Sealand Maritime Group (SMG) is a privately held, Saudi Arabia-headquartered maritime and industrial services provider founded in 2009 and operating from Ras Tanura. The company runs an integrated portfolio of 11 service lines covering the vessel lifecycle and adjacent industrial demand: shipping agency (port calls, clearances, husbandry), ship chandling (provisions and supplies), marine services (electrical, mechanical, diving, ship repair), maritime safety services (LSA, fire fighting, CO2 systems, davits), hose manufacturing, hydraulic cylinder design and precision machining, chemicals (offshore, industrial, drilling, water, food-grade), trading and contracting (PPE, electrical supplies, valves, EPC), onshore/offshore logistics, certified lifting equipment inspection and NDT, and broader industrial services including lubrication consultancy and risk management.

SMG's operating model is asset- and license-intensive rather than technology-software-driven. It owns a fleet of 4 offshore service boats and 80+ Aramco-sticker heavy vehicles, operates from 7 offices across Saudi Arabia (Rastanura, Dammam, Al Khobar, Jubail), Bahrain, and the UAE (Sealand Maritime International FZE in Sharjah), and holds multi-jurisdictional credentials including LEEA Full Membership, ABS and BV classification society approvals, Consilium authorized service partner status, DuPont Nomex distribution rights in KSA, and a Transport General Authority of KSA transportation license. Chandling licenses span all major Eastern Region ports — Dammam, Rastanura, Jubail, Ras Al Khair, and Khafji — positioning SMG directly inside Saudi Arabia's primary oil and gas maritime corridor.

Revenue mechanics are predominantly enterprise B2B services delivered against quote-based pricing: shipping agency fees, chandling margins, professional services for marine repair and inspection, hardware sales from hose manufacturing, and transactional fees from chemicals and trading distribution. The customer base spans shipping lines, charterers, ship operators, EPC contractors, O&M companies, and government entities, with the Saudi Eastern Province oil and gas sector as the dominant demand pool. The company has publicly aligned itself with Saudi Vision 2030's maritime sector development agenda, framing expansion of fleets and local talent as core to its forward strategy.
