About the Group

# About Max Marine Group

A family-built maritime and petroleum services group supporting shipping, offshore, logistics and port operations across Egypt.

Roots dating to 1972 • Alexandria, Egypt

From Abu Qir to nationwide operations

## A Maritime Group Built on Field Experience

Max Marine traces its origins to 1972, when Haj Ibrahim Abd-El Aziz established the business near Abu Qir Port. The company began by supporting petroleum-service vessels with food supply, vessel provisioning, and practical field assistance along the Egyptian coast.

That early work shaped a practical operating culture built on direct accountability and reliable field support.

After Haj Ibrahim’s passing, his sons, Capt. Samy and Capt. Hany, expanded the business beyond its oilfield roots into a wider maritime, offshore, and logistics group. Following Capt. Samy’s passing, Capt. Hany continued leading the group, preserving the founding values while strengthening its integrated operating model.

Today, Max Marine Group supports shipping companies, petroleum operators, offshore contractors and logistics teams across Egyptian ports, free zones, shore bases, airports and inland interfaces.

Max Marine is registered as a service provider to EGAS and EGPC. The group’s management systems are certified to ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001 and ISO 37001.

## Family Heritage

Three generations of maritime commitment, from Abu Qir to Egypt’s major ports and offshore operating areas.

Current Leadership

### Capt. Hany

Chairman

Capt. Hany grew up working alongside his father and brother at Abu Qir. That background shaped his view of the job: fieldwork first, overhead second, and client relationships built over years, not contracts.

Under his leadership, the group has invested in people, vessels, operating bases, equipment, and service capability while preserving the family values on which the business was built: trust, discipline, responsiveness, and long-term relationships.

His connection to Abu Qir remains central to both his work and community contribution, with public recognition by the Governor of Alexandria during the governorate’s 71st National Day celebrations.
