A history of securing the transportation of goods and relationship
Our vision of “Linking the Middle East to the World” began in 1976, when UASC was formed jointly between the Kingdom of Bahrain, Republic of Iraq, State of Kuwait, State of Qatar, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates.
Headquartered in Kuwait with a Corporate Office in the UAE, we serve Asia from Singapore, Europe from London, the Middle East from Dubai and North America from Cranford, New Jersey.
After more than 36 years of reliable service, UASC has earned its name as a market leader by being one of the most prominent carriers both in terms of liner cargo as well as port coverage.
