Egyptian International Shipping Agencies & Services (EISAS) has inaugurated a new 600-square-meter bonded warehouse in the Port Said Free Zone, enhancing its capabilities in ship supplies and technical stores. The facility features advanced infrastructure and a state-of-the-art firefighting system for the safe handling and storage of dangerous goods.

Already operational, the warehouse serves as the official Egypt stock point for Nippon Paint Marine, with initial inventory of 75,000 liters and capacity projected to reach 300,000 liters by the end of 2025. While Nippon Paint Marine anchors current operations, the warehouse was built with scalability and diversification in mind.

With ample space and scalable operations, the facility is well-positioned to accommodate a diverse range of ship supplies and technical stores for partners seeking strategic access to the Southern Mediterranean, Red Sea, and broader Middle East and East African regions. Supporting efficient supply and distribution to vessels at all Egyptian ports, dry docks, and those transiting the Suez Canal, the warehouse further reinforces Egypt’s role as a regional maritime hub, contributing to Egypt’s growing presence in the global shipping supply chain.

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.
• Rebate Release: We follow up with the SCA until your rebate is processed and released.
