Our Story

Who We Are
Founded in Suez in 2001, HKC Shipping began as a boutique ship agency serving Mediterranean container lines. Today we operate a diversified fleet, employ over 40 maritime professionals, and support vessels at Port Said, Damietta, Suez, Safaga, and Ain Sokhna.
Our mission is simple: keep vessels moving safely, on schedule, and in full regulatory compliance — while treating every crew member and cargo owner with the respect they deserve.
