The roots of Sealine group start in 1978 when Sealine was established by the decision of the two founding partners: Samir Moukawem and Samir Noaime. They started activities in chartering vessels and leasing containers running a service between Ravenna/ Italy to Beirut. After a period of time and due to the success of the service their portfolio was developed and extended the service to Marseille and Barcelona with different tonnage multi-purpose to Beirut.
It was then a normal and logical development that, beside running its own service on a very specific and dedicated route, the company developed a wide range of overseas relationships and connections who led to create a number of independent companies active in the shipping agency for liner companies from containerized to break bulk operators, to freight forwarding.
Each of the above companies is totally independent with its own management, accounting, operation, documentation and sales.
We have 101 employees in our group besides own port staff assisting vessels activities and container control with the port and the terminal.
As port facility we provide our own repair shop for containers and our own stevedoring company as well.
