Our services are red hot

A strange way of describing the new reefers we are adding to our fleet this year but in many ways the most apt description of what services you can expect from Transmar – Egypt’s leading container shipping line. For Egyptian exporters the emphasis is on safe, secure and on-time deliveries for their customers. This is never more important than when dealing with perishable products and Transmar is leading the Egyptian export market in reefer shipping as more exporters talk to us about fulfilling their customers’ needs.

There is a lot behind our business

There is usually more to a company than just its name and in the case of Transmar our history is built on the defining and enthusiastic work of so many people stretching back over 40 years. We are now the leading Egyptian container shipping line. We have achieved this by creating services for Egyptian exporters that offer the best service, at the right price with the knowledge and experience to back it up. This month IACC Holdings celebrated 40 years of providing high quality services as a key player in the regional cargo industry with expertise in vessel management, liner operations, ship agencies, stevedoring and warehousing, inland transportation and integrated logistics. As one of the four businesses comprising IACC Holdings we are also benefiting from this commitment to excellence. The driving ambition to be the best at what we do has made Transmar more than a container shipping line – it has made us a strong and reliable partner for Egyptian exporters.

Your exports are on track

One of the frustrations for any exporter is in knowing where their container is: this is vital when your own customers are asking for urgent delivery or wanting to know what time the container will arrive at the destination port and when can they get their hands on your goods. After all, when you entrust your exports to a container shipping line, you need to believe in their services and their operational integrity. To do this you need a company that has a pedigree; one that has been working with exporters and offering high quality container services for decades. Transmar is the leading Egyptian container shipping line and has been developing and fine-tuning services for Egyptian exporters for long enough to be recognised for reliability, efficiency and customer satisfaction. In a digital age this is vital in keeping your own customers happy and we believe in doing the same for ours. We are in charge of your precious cargo from the moment it is delivered to us and until it arrives at the designated destination. We believe it is important to establish a strong working relationship with exporters. We want customers to see us as a reliable and efficient regional partner, a company that you can trust and rely on. Transmar achieves this with very high standards of customer service to ensure that your cargo shipments arrive safely and on time and with a personal touch from our staff. We see ourselves as more than just a collection and delivery company: Transmar can be your trusted export partner in a region that is currently experiencing strong growth and demand for Egyptian goods.

Containing good news in 2019

When you need a container shipping line, you need one with a pedigree. Your cargo is valuable and when your business relies on experience, knowledge and the right people, you need a partner that operates at the same level. Transmar steps into 2019 as the leading regional carrier and the first name in Egyptian container shipping with decades of regional experience. Throughout this time, we have developed not only our container shipping services but also our people: they are the first point of contact with customers and we value their skills and customer facing can-do attitude. We are the leading Egyptian container shipping company and as the only container line to use the Port of Adabiya, we have created a network of routes that benefit from the port’s location and hassle-free operations. Using Adabiya makes commercial sense as it has a growing infrastructure and is congestion free – the ideal combination for our customers and exporters looking for a smooth transit and guaranteed delivery. Our history has dictated our success and our reputation has been built on delivery and customer satisfaction because we understand that schedules and deadlines are vital parts of the export business.

Our 40th anniversary in 2019

We’re kicking off our 40th anniversary in 2019 with an event very close to our hearts. Honoring those who we consider founding employees by unveiling our wall of fame at our HQ last Thursday. Invited to celebrate with us were the families of the 6 guests of honors, we spent some time recognizing their great contribution in helping us reach our 40 years of keeping promises. #LifeAtIACC #40Years #KeepingPromises

One container, one port, one good decision

The power is always with the customer and at Transmar we understand what that means for those exporters we work for: they want reliability, dependable services, and precise schedules and guaranteed deliveries. We achieve this for every customer thanks to being a part of a group that can support us with comprehensive shipping services our clients rely on.

Cool, calm and collected containers

When it comes to containers there are always choices: the size, the volume you want, the products you want to ship and the need for either a dry or reefer unit. Transmar is the leading Egyptian container line because we have made a real difference to our customers and their logistic supply chains using a variety of containers on our scheduled routes. Our services are based on tried and tested operations. We appreciate it takes something special to gain your business - and we think that's what we have. For exporters looking for refrigerated containers then we believe our reefers should be your top choice.

Containing Growth for Shipping lines in Egyptian Exports

Transmar is one of the leading container Shipping lines in Egypt. Provides both dry and reefer containers carrying dry bulks, liquid bulks and general cargo in the increased container traffic.

The bigger the better in containers

Our containers come in different sizes because we understand our customers’ needs. The standard model is 20 foot but with increasing economies of scale and the need to ship greater volumes, we also offer 40 foot containers and 40 foot high cube units for those requiring a container that can hold large and bulky cargo. In contrast to standard container with a maximum height of 2591 mm (8'6"), high-cube containers are 2896 mm, or 9'6", tall. Our dry high cube dry containers means you will benefit from an extra foot in height compared with dry containers.

You need experts in exports

If this is your first time considering exporting from Egypt, then you need to talk to us. When it comes to experts in exports in Egypt, we are the first name mentioned – particularly if your markets are in Saudi Arabia and across the Arabian Gulf. There is always an initial concern when it comes to export processes for the first time and yet with our skills and knowledge we can make it work for you.
