 The National Shipping Company of Saudi Arabia (NSCSA) was formed by a Royal Decree in the year 1979 as a Public Company, 28% ownership held by the Public Investment Fund "PIF" of the Saudi Government and the remaining is widely held in public shares by Saudi Nationals.
NSCSA has grown from the small shipping firm operating multipurpose vessels to become one of the biggest shipping conglomerates in the world and occupies a pre-eminent position among its industry peers at national, regional and international levels in all sectors of its business operations. It is the first national carrier, having celebrated its Silver Jubilee in the year 2004 and continues to successfully stride the triumphant march in 30 years of its existence and has generated a strong VIP customer base.
During the course of its diversification, the Company's services have been expanded to include transportation of General cargo, Crude oil, Chemical and Liquefied Petroleum Gas "LPG". Having started off its operations for transporting general cargo and containers initially, the company with its commendable track record, has established the reputation of providing high standard of service to its customers at all the ports it has been serving.
NSCSA owns and operates 17 Very Large Crude Carriers (VLCCs), which all are of high international standards. In its desire to expand further, NSCSA entered into LPG transportation business by acquiring 30.3 percent share from Petredec Limited, which is the leading company in LPG transportation in the world.
NSCSA owns a fleet of 13 chemical carriers through its subsidiary the National Chemical Carriers (NCC) which was established in partnership with SABIC and has become one of the largest companies of the world in this field.
The company also operates 4 fully owned multipurpose vessels, deployed between Arabian Gulf - Indian Subcontinent - Red Sea - Mediterranean - US / Canada East Coast route on a twenty one day frequency. The company also invested in on-land facilities by building a container service yard at the Jeddah Islamic Port to facilitate container storage and maintenance / repair services.
NSCSA has established Mideast Ship Management Ltd., with a vision to provide professional ship management services to its fleet and other shipping companies.
NSCSA through its subsidiary (NCC) signed a 50:50 joint venture with Odfjell of Norway to establish operating company in Dubai to commercially operate their combined fleet of coated chemical tankers in a pool. This will re-enforce NCC position as a major player in the chemical transportation industry.
The company also announced its intention to enter into dry bulk transportation segment and the project is progressing.
NSCSA strongly believes that expansion and continuous improvement of its services in the marine transportation would not only improve the welfare of the trading community but also contribute richly to the development of national economy, which is the prime goal of the organization.
