About AMQ Shipping

AMQ SHIPPING LLC is a UAE-based shipping company specializing in vessel operation and container slot providing.

Who we are

An independent vessel operator and slot provider

Our business model is based on securing vessel capacity through time charter arrangements and deploying vessels on selected trade routes.

The available container capacity is then offered to NVOCCs and other shipping operators in flexible slot allocations. This enables our customers to access vessel capacity without the commercial and operational commitment of chartering an entire vessel.

AMQ focuses on establishing commercially viable services between strategic ports and providing dependable capacity solutions to its shipping partners.

Our Model

Vessel capacity, from charter to slot

AMQ secures vessel capacity through time chartering and offers this capacity to NVOCCs and shipping operators on a slot basis.

  1. 01

    We secure capacity

    AMQ takes vessels under time charter arrangements, so capacity is available without owning the ship.

  2. 02

    We operate services

    We define a trade route between two or more ports and manage the vessel’s commercial operation on that service.

  3. 03

    We allocate slots

    The vessel’s container capacity is divided into slots and offered to NVOCCs, shipping lines and container operators.

See how it works

AMQ provides vessel capacity to NVOCCs.

Our purpose is to connect vessel capacity with NVOCC demand for container space. AMQ vessels are deployed on selected trade routes, and the available container capacity is offered to shipping partners through flexible slot arrangements.
