Owned by Two of the World's Leading Regional Ship Agencies

WaterFront is jointly owned by Ben Line Agencies, founded in 1825 and covering the Asia-Pacific region with nearly two centuries of expertise, and Sharaf Shipping Agency, established in 1976 and covering the Middle East, Indian Subcontinent, and Africa.  This ownership structure gives WaterFront unmatched regional depth, financial stability, and boots-on-the-ground knowledge that a standalone global agency cannot replicate.
