Egyptian International Shipping Agencies & Services

What Egyptian International Shipping Agencies & Services does

Egyptian International Shipping Agencies & Services (EISAS), founded in 1978, is a family-owned Egyptian shipping agency and logistics provider operating as a subsidiary of the Egyptian International Shipping Group (EIS Group). The company functions as a line operator under the EIL flag and serves as a port agent, freight forwarder, and marine services provider for global shipping lines, importers, exporters, and vessel operators. Its service platform is organized into four pillars: Shipping Agency (liner and tramp agency, Suez Canal transit representation, yacht agency, husbandry, protecting agency, crew change), Logistics (ocean and air freight, project cargo, chartering, inland haulage, customs clearance, relocation), Depots and Warehouses (Sokhna Inland Container Depot at 32,000 sqm and 7,000 TEU capacity, Alexandria storage yard, and a 600 sqm Port Said bonded dangerous goods warehouse), and Marine Services (ship chandling, ship supply, spare parts, offshore services, port disbursement).

EISAS operates through a national network of offices in Giza (headquarters), Alexandria, Port Said, Suez, Ain Al Sokhna, and Damietta, and acts as exclusive or contracted agent for multiple international principals including Asyad Shipping, K-Line, APL Logistics, Goodrich Maritime, Vasco Maritime, Romocean, Baltic Lines, Nippon Paint Marine (as Egypt stock point), Century Supply Chain Solutions, GFS (Li & Fung), and Trifleet Leasing. The company holds memberships in FIATA, IATA, BIMCO, WCA, ALFA, ALNA, EIFFA, APOLLO, and UNITED industry associations. Revenue is generated through fee-based agency commissions, freight forwarding margins, depot and warehouse storage/handling charges, and marine supply sales under a B2B sales-led go-to-market model with no publicly disclosed pricing. The Sokhna ICD has handled over 1 million TEUs since 2012, and the company recently completed a 16,000 sqm ICD expansion and a new bonded DG warehouse in 2025, indicating active capacity investment. No proprietary technology or AI/ML capabilities are disclosed, and no external funding has been raised — EISAS remains entirely family-owned.
