1996
Establishment of Melita Shipping Company
Established in 1996, Melita Shipping Company represents a
pioneering venture in the Libyan maritime sector, marking the
inception of the nation's first private shipping entity in an
era dominated by public sector affiliations. Our maiden
venture embarked on a groundbreaking journey, facilitating
direct container shipments from Dubai to Libyan ports, a novel
endeavor at the time. This initial success paved the way for
an innovative expansion into automobile transportation,
leveraging the Iranian Shipping Line (IRISL) to transport
vehicles in containers from Korea to Libya during the period
of 1996 to 2000.
2000
Zueitina Shipping Agency
As the new millennium dawned, we ventured into a new chapter
with the formation of Zueitina Shipping Agency. From 2000 to
2005, this venture symbolized our strategic expansion,
operating directly with the Iranian line from the Far East and
Dubai, connecting the vibrant markets of Asia with the
entirety of Libyan ports. This era was marked by our
commitment to bridging continents and fostering international
trade links.
2006
Al-Waha Shipping Agency
In 2006, Al-Waha Shipping Agency was born, marking another
milestone in our journey. This venture saw us becoming the
exclusive agent for P&O Nedlloyd, then the second largest
shipping line globally. This partnership was a testament to
our growing prominence and influence in the maritime industry,
extending our reach and capabilities.
2008
Tajoura Shipping Agency
The year 2008 heralded the establishment of Tajoura Shipping
Agency, in collaboration with Jaliana maritime shipping
company. With operational bases in Dubai and China, this joint
venture, in cooperation with the shipping line CMA,
represented a quantum leap in our operational capacity. We
masterminded the transportation of thousands of diverse
containers from the bustling ports of China, Malaysia,
Indonesia, Singapore, Taiwan, and Hong Kong, directly to
Libyan shores. This period was characterized by our ability to
navigate the complex tapestry of global trade routes, bringing
the world closer to Libya.
