Why Egyptian International Shipping Agencies & Services Is the #1 Suez Canal Transit Agent in Egypt

When it comes to navigating the Suez Canal—the world’s most vital maritime shortcut—ship owners and managers need a partner who combines deep expertise, local insight, and a full suite of support services. Egyptian International Shipping Agencies & Services (EISAS) stands out as Egypt’s leading Suez Canal transit agent, trusted by global shipping companies for their reliability, efficiency, and value-added marine solutions.

Unmatched Expertise in Suez Canal Transits

With decades of experience and a dedicated team on the ground, EISAS ensures your vessel’s transit through the Suez Canal is smooth, compliant, and cost-effective. We stay up-to-date with the Suez Canal Authority’s (SCA) ever-evolving “Rules of Navigation” and live Navigation Circulars—so you don’t have to. Our strong relationships with SCA officials mean we can quickly clarify requirements, resolve issues, and secure the most favorable terms for your voyage.

Your Guide to Suez Canal Rebates

Maximizing your savings is part of our mission. The SCA’s rebate system offers significant toll reductions for eligible voyages, but the process can be complex. EISAS handles the entire rebate application process on your behalf, from initial planning and application submission to certificate collection and final rebate release. Whether you’re transiting laden or in ballast, we ensure every document is in place and every deadline met—so you receive the rebates you deserve, hassle-free.

Our step-by-step Suez Canal rebate support includes:

• Voyage Planning: We assess the best routing and rebate options for your vessel.
• Application Submission: We handle all paperwork and liaise with the SCA.
• Certificate Coordination: We work with your port agents to gather all required certificates at origin, destination, and any intermediate ports.
• Seamless Transit: We manage toll payments and ensure all compliance requirements are fulfilled.
