What Shallow Water Ships Spare Parts Trading L.L.C does

Shallow Water Ships Spare Parts Trading L.L.C is a Dubai-based marine propulsion services and spare parts specialist operating from a full-service workshop in Dubai Maritime City, UAE. The company serves commercial fleet owners, vessel operators, and shipyards across the GCC, Africa, and global markets, offering integrated propulsion system support covering marine gearboxes (REINTJES, TWIN DISC, HITACHI), CPP/FPP main propulsion, tunnel and azimuth thrusters (Wartsila, BERG), FIFI firefighting pumps, flexible couplings and clutches, and marine auxiliaries.

The business combines a field service operation — deploying OEM-trained engineers onboard, offshore, or at customer locations worldwide with 24/7 emergency response — with a spare parts distribution arm stocking 12,000+ critical parts across 50+ marine brands. Service delivery spans diagnostics, scheduled maintenance, emergency repair, alignment, dynamic balancing, ceramic coating, and complete overhauls performed in-workshop or onsite. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; revenue is generated via a mix of hardware (parts) sales and professional services (labor) revenue streams.

Founded circa 2010 and privately held by its operating partners (Gamal Abdelmeguid, General Manager-Partner; Ahmad Zerba, Sales & Aftermarket Partner), the company operates with approximately 5 employees and reports 98% order fulfillment accuracy, 99% on-time job completion, and 300+ OEM parts delivered per month. Its competitive position rests on OEM-trained technical talent, the strategic Dubai Maritime City workshop footprint, established brand-level service partnerships, and the depth of its parts inventory enabling rapid response to time-critical marine downtime events.
