Mur Shipping DMCCO-Dubai

MUR Shipping is a dry-bulk logistics provider and vessel owner with a Dubai office serving the company’s commercial and operational work. The company transports metals, minerals, agricultural products, construction materials and selected project cargoes. Its Dubai team is one part of a wider international business, so customers can contact the local office about freight and shipping requirements without mistaking global fleet and activity figures for branch-specific details.

A global dry-bulk shipping business

MUR began in 1994 as the shipping division of Macsteel, initially handling group cargoes that included exports to the Far East for Iscor, now ArcelorMittal South Africa. The company later expanded into third-party cargo and developed trade routes and infrastructure in multiple countries. Its history includes the move of its commercial headquarters to Dubai in 2006.

The company describes its present-day business as dry-bulk logistics and vessel ownership, operating across six continents. Figures published on its corporate pages—including more than 800 annual voyages, over 250 customers and a network of 11 offices—refer to MUR as a whole, not specifically to the Dubai office.

Freight and cargo solutions

MUR arranges freight for dry-bulk commodities including metals, minerals, agricultural products and construction materials. It says that services are developed with customers and tailored to cargo requirements that may be complex or time-sensitive. The company’s reported 24 core trade routes and its owned and controlled vessels, supplemented by chartered tonnage, form part of its global operating model.

For specialist movements, MUR has an in-house team that handles energy and project cargoes, including wind turbine blades and components. These shipments can differ from standard bulk movements in cargo dimensions and handling needs; prospective customers can describe their cargo and route to the relevant commercial representative to establish whether the service is suitable.

Vessel ownership and management

MUR identifies itself as a dry-bulk vessel owner and says its owned fleet is supported by chartered vessels. The company presents that combination as a way to respond to varied cargo requirements and longer-term contract needs. Its fleet page provides vessel and fleet information; published figures describe the wider fleet rather than vessels based in Dubai.

The business also lists commercial management for third-party shipowners, covering the securing of cargoes and trade routes. Dockendale, identified as part of the company’s service offer, provides crewing, ship management and technical services, including support to MUR’s owned fleet. These functions are distinct from the Dubai office address and should be understood as capabilities of the broader group.

Dubai office and international network

MUR’s official contact page lists a Dubai office on Sheikh Zayed Road, with PO Box 262206, and gives the office telephone number and regional email contacts. The page also lists representatives serving different commercial or operational departments and regions. Contact details can therefore vary according to the inquiry; the published Dubai office contacts provide a starting point.

The company is headquartered in the Netherlands and maintains offices in several locations. Its global scale and service descriptions should not be read as a claim that every fleet, route, or team is located in Dubai. The local listing establishes the Dubai presence, while the company’s broader site describes the capabilities available across MUR.

Planning an enquiry

When approaching MUR, customers may find it useful to outline the cargo type, quantity, loading and discharge locations, preferred timing, and any special dimensions or handling constraints. For a project cargo inquiry, include relevant cargo specifications and route details. These are practical preparation suggestions, not a statement of terms or a promise of availability.

For vessel or charter-related questions, clarify whether the need concerns freight capacity, tonnage procurement, or commercial management for an owned vessel. Use the Dubai office contact details or select the relevant department and region through the company’s contact page. MUR can then assess the inquiry through its published commercial and operations channels.
