Sea, air and land freight, handled from Dubai.
Merman Shipping is a Dubai NVOCC and freight forwarder with branch offices in India. We ship containers, project cargo and air freight for traders in the UAE, and act as the local agent for shipping lines and forwarders overseas.
What we handle
Most shipments need more than one of these: the container booking, the customs entry and the truck to the warehouse. We arrange them together.
