About Max Marine Group
A family-built Egyptian maritime and petroleum services group delivering shipping agency, offshore support, logistics, and port operations across Egypt.
Founded in 1972 • Alexandria, Egypt
From Abu Qir to nationwide operations
A Maritime Group Built on Field Experience
Max Marine traces its origins to 1972, when Haj Ibrahim Abd-El Aziz established the business near Abu Qir Port. The company began by supporting petroleum-service vessels with food supply, vessel provisioning, and practical field assistance along the Egyptian coast.
That early work shaped the group’s operating culture: fast response, direct accountability, and dependable support for clients working under real operational pressure.
After Haj Ibrahim’s passing, his sons, Capt. Samy and Capt. Hany, expanded the business beyond its oilfield roots into a wider maritime, offshore, and logistics group. Following Capt. Samy’s passing, Capt. Hany continued leading the group, preserving the founding values while strengthening its integrated operating model.
Today, Max Marine Group supports shipping companies, oil and gas operators, offshore contractors, and logistics partners through coordinated execution across Egyptian ports, free zones, offshore bases, airports, and inland interfaces.

Current Leadership
Capt. Hany
Chairman
Capt. Hany grew up working alongside his father and brother at Abu Qir. That background shaped his view of the job: fieldwork first, overhead second, and client relationships built over years, not contracts.
Under his leadership, the group has invested in people, vessels, operating bases, equipment, and service capability while preserving the family values on which the business was built: trust, discipline, responsiveness, and long-term relationships.
His connection to Abu Qir remains central to both his work and community contribution, with recent public recognition by the Governor of Alexandria during the governorate’s 71st National Day celebrations.
