Al Sharqi Shipping was first founded by Mr. Muhammad Rafiq in the year 1989. After spending nearly a decade in the Shipping and Logistics Industry of Dubai, Mr. Rafiq forayed into his own vision of what he thought the industry needed – a better experience for all the stakeholders involved.
At the time, the industry was plagued with unprofessionalism, defaults on commitments and a depressed customer supply chain; dishonesty was widespread. It was during this time, Mr. Rafiq decided to provide an alternative to the customer: a company that is built on solid value and committed not only to its service but to all of its stakeholders as well.
Al Sharqi Shipping wanted to “Help You Grow”
Today, “helping you grow” has formed an important part of our business philosophy and mindset. A mindset which helped us grow from a handful of customers to becoming one of the major players in the region.
You, as the shipper, are one of the key players in the industry. And we, at Al Sharqi, want to help you grow. Our aim is to provide the best possible service to our customers, the shippers. We want to help our customers grow, to achieve their goals.
