Why Max Marine
What makes the difference when things get complicated
Egyptian ports move fast. Authorities need close follow-up. Schedules change overnight. Max Marine is built for this — with the yards, vessels, permits, relationships, and field teams already in place. Clients don't manage the gaps; we do.
Since 1972
54 years of Egyptian maritime operations, still headquartered in Alexandria.
Single point of control
Agency, logistics, assets, and field support through one team — no handoff gaps.
Port and authority fluency
Built-in relationships with Egyptian port authorities, customs, and terminals — not introductions made on day one.
Since 1972
Family-built maritime, offshore, and logistics support with long-standing Egyptian port knowledge and direct operational accountability.
Shore-base readiness
A base that works on day one, not after a week of setup
Max Marine brings yards, storage, lifting equipment, procurement contacts, and admin capability into one shore-base structure — built around your timeline, not around a standard template. We've done this for BP, Valaris, Saipem, and others.
Typically ready in 3–4 weeks depending on scope, permits, and equipment requirements.
Port and canal control
Port calls prepared before the vessel arrives
Delays in Egyptian ports often start before arrival — missing documents, unconfirmed berths, late crew paperwork. Our team begins preparation days ahead: authority clearances, husbandry, Suez nominations, crew immigration, and supply coordination handled in sequence.
Covers Alexandria, Dekheila, Port Said, Suez, Abu Qir, Damietta, Ain Sokhna, and Safaga.
Cargo and customs
Customs cleared, cargo moving — without the usual delays
Egyptian customs can hold cargo for days without the right documentation and relationships. We handle the interface directly — free-zone processing, temporary import permits, bonded storage, and inland delivery — with experience that shortens the timeline.
Relevant for offshore spares, drilling equipment, project materials, and time-critical marine supplies.
Assets and execution
The assets are already here when the schedule changes
Workboats, cranes, forklifts, generators, storage yards, fabrication support — owned, not subcontracted. When an offshore campaign needs something urgently, Max Marine can respond without sourcing a new vendor, pricing a job from scratch, or waiting on third-party availability.
Group-owned fleet and equipment, with yards at Abu Qir, Dekheila, and El-Amreya Free Zone.
Coverage across Egypt’s main operating locations
Coordinated support across ports, free zones, airports, offshore interfaces, and major maritime gateways in the Mediterranean and Red Sea.

Suez Canal Transit
Suez Canal Transit. Nomination to Final Disbursement.
Convoy slot, SCA documentation, pilotage, husbandry, rebate assessment, and PDA review — managed from Port Said or Suez.
Rebate Guidance
Certain vessel types, routes, and cargo profiles qualify for Suez Canal toll rebates under SCA circulars. We assess eligibility and prepare the supporting file.
Circulars, Documents and Transit Readiness
SCA requirements shift with each circular. We review vessel particulars and documentation before nomination — not after the vessel has anchored at the gateway.
Transit scheduling and nomination support
Pilotage, tug and launch coordination
Canal documentation handling
Fresh water, provisions and husbandry support
Rebate eligibility guidance
Operational updates before and during transit
Before Transit
Nomination submitted, documentation checked, convoy slot confirmed, vessel particulars declared to SCA. We start this days before arrival — not when the vessel is already at the gateway.
During Transit
Live attendance at Port Said or Suez. Pilot boarding, tug assignment, launch services, fresh water, provisions and crew welfare handled at the canal gateways.
After Transit
Final disbursement accounts reviewed, toll certificates issued, rebate files prepared where the vessel profile qualifies. No loose ends.
Canal Transit Desk
Use the estimator for a quick tariff-table indication, then request a detailed PDA for a verified transit cost review.
