UAE Shipping Directory is a bilingual business directory and industry blog for the marine, shipping, ports, logistics and offshore sectors. We help buyers, suppliers and maritime professionals discover companies and relevant business activities in UAE
A clearer starting point for maritime business
Finding a suitable service provider begins with knowing where to look. UAE Shipping Directory brings business discovery and industry reading into one accessible website, helping visitors move from a broad search to a more relevant shortlist.
Our focus is practical: make company activities easier to explore, organise information by service and location, and give business readers useful context for their next enquiry. The directory serves visitors interested in the UAE’s maritime market alongside companies and professionals working internationally.
Search with a purpose
Browse business activities, use company and keyword searches, and narrow the results to the services you need.
Understand your options
Read company descriptions and available contact details to prepare a shortlist for your own assessment.
Make a direct enquiry
Contact a business to confirm its operating area, availability and scope, then agree commercial terms directly.

Who the directory helps
Buyers & procurement teamsIdentify businesses to approach for a shipment, vessel requirement, equipment purchase or service contract. Compare replies against the same written scope.
Companies & service providersPresent your business activities and public contact details so potential customers can understand your offering and reach the responsible office.
Industry readers & professionalsExplore news and explanations that provide context for maritime operations, market developments and business planning.
Start in the UAE. Explore beyond it.
Our location pages make it possible to explore companies recorded in the UAE and other markets. Search by country or locality to identify relevant offices, then ask each provider which ports, routes and work sites it actually serves. A company’s listed address describes its recorded location; it does not establish route coverage or operational capacity.
More context for your next decision
The blog adds industry context to business discovery through news, explanations and practical articles. Readers can explore developments affecting ports, cargo movement, marine services, offshore activity and maritime investment.
Our published editorial process describes how research, sourcing, publication checks and translation are handled. Artificial intelligence and other automation may assist preparation; readers should consult original sources and current authority instructions when a detail affects a commercial or operational decision.
Help customers understand what you do
A useful profile describes the company clearly: its activities, office location, website and public contact channels. When preparing a submission, use accurate business details, explain the services offered and provide information you are authorised to publish.
Keep your company profile current
Changed office, phone number or service description? Send the listing URL and the requested correction through our Contact page. Information matching and publication checks do not constitute a licence audit, accreditation or a guarantee of performance.
Useful information. Independent decisions.
UAE Shipping Directory provides company discovery and publishing services. We do not carry cargo, book transport or negotiate contracts for listed businesses. Your service agreement and any payment arrangements are made with the provider you choose.
Before placing an order, confirm the company’s identity, relevant licences, insurance, technical capability and current contact details. Request written quotations and review inclusions, exclusions, deadlines and dispute arrangements. A featured position or reader rating does not establish endorsement or service quality.
Find a business. Share an update. Start exploring.
