Industries Roar, But Logistics Lag Behind

Shipping and logistics was the first business venture of Sharaf Group, initiated in 1975. Could you throw some light on the journey of Sharaf Group?

Yes, you are right. Shipping and logistics was the first business venture of Sharaf Group, initiated in 1975. We represent numerous large liners, bulk carriers, tanker owners and airlines worldwide and we are providing agency services in the entire Gulf, Asia and the African continent. Our main services include providing and managing surface transport from the point of origin, seeking customs and port clearance, and delivering the cargo to the customer’s door.

For instance, at Sharaf Cargo, we have a simple philosophy that success is a creation of equilibrium between outstanding service, competitive pricing, strong dedication to detail and outstanding vision of customer’s needs. We stand behind our expertise, our reputation, and our approach to help customers making their transportation decision a simple one.
