Safmarine Container Lines NV is a Belgian shipping company, based in Antwerp and specialising in sea transportation of cargoes between Africa, the Middle East and the Indian Subcontinent as well as operating in other trades. Our services are mainly based on fully containerised vessels but we also have a division offering services for non-unitisable break bulk and project cargo.

With 110 owned offices throughout the world, Safmarine ensures that we deliver the high level of service and dedication that our customers have come to expect from the carriage of their goods under a Safmarine Bill of Lading, whether they be shippers, forwarders or traders.

We own and charter about 60 vessels, and most of them are fully integrated into the Maersk Line network. This way we have the benefit of being a true tonnage provider and at the same time having access to the largest network in the world. Being a part of the AP Moller-Maersk Group enables us to leverage and tap into Maersk Line's robust IT infrastructure, HR development programmes and procurement resources that help provide you with the best-in-class services

We understand that challenging markets such as Africa, the Middle East and the Indian Subcontinent require a personal touch and commitment. Our increasing focus is to continuously improve our services that go beyond just providing you with the best rates and best network. We partner with you every step of the way, helping you decide and plan your transportation solutions in the most cost and time-efficient manner.
