Our Heritage

35 Years of
Relentless
Delivery

Al Sharif Group’s journey dates back to the 1890s. From a humble beginning our visionary leader has led us to where we are today, as a leader in the shipping industry in the Kingdom of Bahrain. The Al Sharif family has laid the foundation for Al Sharif Shipping Services which still remain as 
one of the oldest shipping companies in Bahrain and have played a prominent role in the Kingdom’s burgeoning trade industry.

Later in 1957 the Group was commercially established as a full-fledged Liner Shipping Agency which diversified into ocean and airfreight forwarding, and other allied services which is the backbone of the industry. Meticulous management skills, hard work and dedication coupled with experienced professionals across generations have ensured that we continue to deliver superior services to our principals and customers.

Chairman's Message

Chairman's Message

“Greetings one and all

A humble thank you for visiting us and here’s why.

As a shipping agent serving the Kingdom of Bahrain for a remarkable 100 years plus, we have long realized the importance of forging strong and valuable relationships. ‘You’ being our customers, the authorities, the principals or even the important stake holders in the industry are the reason we are here! This connect between us is built on a foundation of trust, dedication and quality as that’s what Al Sharif Group stands for.

Our industry is an ocean of change and as the saying goes “Change is the only Constant”. Yes, the shipping industry is dynamic in nature and in today’s business scenario there is no place for complacency. Adaptability to changing global trends is the key, which is why we very often find many others struggle, who fail to see the changes around them and adapt quickly.

The world has indeed become much smaller today than when we debuted a century ago. The entire globe is well connected with ocean, air and land transport networks. Technology is king and has played a key role in seamless delivery of cargo to and from anywhere in the world.

Global market trends and the challenges faced by the shipping industry have made us truly flexible to meet every demand of our principals and customers to offer sustainable and cost effective solutions at all times. As an agent we realise it’s our duty to stay cost efficient and deliver quality, not just once, but consistently. Time and time again we adhere to our top class standards and we add tremendous value to our principals and customers.

Our world is full of opportunities for the future generations and the learning curve never ends. Being around for a really long time has added to our rich experience and tremendous knowledge over the decades. Today, it’s important that we continue to carry forward our values from the past to the future. 

Without a doubt, we are aware that challenges will be far greater but so are the opportunities and the solutions. A healthy and honest relationship can and will weather any storm and this is why we value, nurture and protect our relationships with you. Over the past 100 years this is what we have stood for, believed in and even today continue to do so. 

I personally take this opportunity to warmly thank every one of you, who has made us what we are today. Our teams and future generations at Al Sharif Group will no doubt do better and be the best in the Kingdom of Bahrain offering a truly world class service to you.”
