Built in Dubai,
growing with every voyage.
Nautica Shipping Line has been continuously evolving since its inception in April 2021. We started as a freight forwarder and expanded to serve other freight forwarders, NVOCCs and cargo traders.
From a freight forwarder to a complete logistics provider.
Nautica started in 2021 as a freight forwarder, helping traders and other forwarders get their cargo moving. As our customers' needs grew, so did we — adding NVOCC operations in 2022, our first sale & purchase in 2023, and a feeder service later that year.
Today we're a complete logistics provider out of Dubai, operating ~2,500 containers and six feeder vessels across UAE, the Far East, South-Eastern and Southern Asia, East Africa, Europe and the Persian Gulf.
As we look to the future, we remain dedicated to providing reliable, efficient and tailored solutions that help our partners navigate the complexities of global logistics.
A trusted name in cargo transportation by 2030.
To become a reliable market partner across feeder, NVOCC, chartering and freight forwarding — the first call for any shipment, of any type, anywhere on our trade lanes.
Redefining the way we transport.
We are here to give exceptional service to our customers. We do not settle for anything short of excellent. We strive to expand our services every day. We change the status quo — and stick by it.
