What GREENPORT SHIPPING AGENCY LLC - SHARAF GROUP COMPANY does

Greenport Shipping Agency LLC is a Dubai-headquartered shipping agency and logistics provider, founded in 2008 as a member of the Sharaf Group conglomerate. The company operates from P.O. Box 65730 in Dubai, UAE, and serves shipping companies, freight forwarders, project cargo clients and heavy equipment operators across the Gulf region, Far East, Africa, Europe, the Middle East, the Indian Subcontinent and the US. Its customer base spans shipowners, charterers, operators, infrastructure project owners, and chemical and industrial cargo shippers.

The company delivers six integrated core services: RORO (Roll-on/Roll-off) for vehicles and rolling equipment; Break Bulk and Project Cargo handling for heavy lift and complex infrastructure shipments; Container Services including over-dimensional cargo in open top/flat rack and ISO tank liquid bulk transport; LCL Consolidation between major worldwide ports; Freight Forwarding with bonded warehousing in Jebel Ali and Fujairah Free Trade Zones; and Ship Agency Services representing container vessels, tankers, car carriers, dry bulk carriers, cruise vessels and trampers. Underlying technology consists of a logistics and shipping management platform with online documentation, port and customs accessibility systems, and a vessel schedule interface.

Greenport generates revenue primarily through transaction fees on freight forwarding and ship agency commissions, supplemented by usage-based pricing on LCL consolidation and project-based professional services fees for heavy lift and break bulk engagements. Pricing is quote-based rather than publicly disclosed, reflecting the bespoke nature of cargo, route and handling requirements. Distribution is delivered through a direct, sales-led engagement model leveraging Sharaf Group's office network across the Gulf, Africa and Indian Subcontinent, with strategic partnerships such as Sarjak Container Lines extending carrier reach.
