About MSC UAE
MSC, the Mediterranean Shipping Company, is one of the largest container shipping lines in the world. Founded in 1970 and headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, it is privately owned by the Aponte family. It operates in the UAE through local offices serving importers and exporters.
MSC's vessels connect UAE ports, such as Jebel Ali and Khalifa Port, with ports in Asia, Europe, Africa and the Americas, carrying containers of goods for businesses of all sizes.
Beyond container shipping, the MSC group has interests in terminals, logistics, and cruises through MSC Cruises, which has operated cruises from Dubai and Abu Dhabi during the winter season.
Shipping lines work with freight forwarders and directly with large shippers to book container space, manage documentation and coordinate pickups and deliveries.
The UAE's role as a re-export hub depends heavily on container shipping, with goods arriving in large volumes and being redistributed to markets in the region.
MSC has grown rapidly to become one of the biggest container lines by fleet capacity.
MSC is a Swiss-based company rather than a UAE startup, and Startups UAE lists its UAE operations among the country's shipping lines.
