ERIC Maritime

In ERIC, we basically offer three main different services: chartering, stevedoring, ship agency Our Chartering division works closely with ship owners to charter(rent) vessels for our customer’s shipments (both part and full cargo) by checking and planning all technical, legal and commercial aspects. In doing so, we are able to help to minimize any risk surrounding the transportation of our customer’s consignments, by supplying them with transport that is fully compliant with international standards. We do chartering anywhere in the world. In stevedoring, we handle the cargo operations within the port of Damietta (the loading and unloading of cargo) With the ship agency, we take full responsibility on the ships that come from anywhere in the world and Egypt.
