Our Company History
Since 2010 – Moving Complex Cargo. Connecting a World of Opportunity.
2010 –
The Beginning
Sabelatrans Shipping Global was established in the Ajman Free Zone, UAE, with a bold vision: to become the most dependable partner for complex and heavy cargo in the Arabian Gulf. While others focused on general freight, we chose the path of heavy lift, break bulk, and project cargo.
2010 – 2015 –
Building the Foundation
In our early years, we built strong relationships with trusted vessel operators, heavy lift carriers, and port authorities across the UAE. We established our reputation in Ajman and Jebel Ali by following a simple promise: Understanding before quoting. Planning before moving.
- Heavy lift and break bulk movements within the Arabian Gulf.
- Project forwarding for Oil & Gas and construction clients.
- RoRo and dry cargo chartering.
2015 – 2020 –
Expanding Across Regions
We expanded our network beyond the Gulf to the Red Sea, Africa, and major Asia Trade Lanes. During this period, we successfully executed multi-origin project consolidations and added crucial capabilities:
- West Africa Focus: Establishing operations for projects to Onne Oil & Gas Free Zone, Nigeria.
- Ocean Towage: Adding tug and barge capabilities for rigs and heavy deck cargo.
- Air Chartering: Introducing urgent solutions for time-critical project spares.
2020 – 2024 –
Becoming a Global Project Specialist
We transformed into a global project logistics specialist, integrating advanced technology and marine support:
- Marine & Offshore Support: PSV, AHTS, and jack-up barges for offshore construction.
- Mafi Trailers & Container Division: Supplying 2,500 MT capacity Mafi trailers.
- ERP Integration: Real-time tracking and WBS-based costing via SAP and Oracle.
- Customs Expertise: Mastering complex clearance (Form M, TIP, NCDMB) in key global free zones.
