Adamallys, one of the leading ship chandlers in the UAE, has been expanding its services across a wider geographic footprint and undertaking fresh digital initiatives.

Over the past years, Adamallys has focused on enhancing its logistics and digital capabilities as a strategic response to evolving demands in the maritime service sector in the UAE and the wider Middle East. The company’s logistics network now includes improved service capabilities in major ports across Oman, Qatar and Saudi Arabia, reinforcing its established presence in UAE ports. This expansion has been supported by investments in logistics infrastructure and partnerships in these countries.

Additionally, Adamallys has been responding to a noticeable increase in demand from ship owners and managers for the containerised shipment of stores in bulk to regions such as South Asia, West Africa and South America.

Aamer Hassanally, the General Manager, says: “This year, global inflation and rising shipping costs have impacted the cost and availability of marine supplies worldwide, while the UAE has maintained its competitive edge as a marine supply hub. Our team has been able to address supply chain gaps for our customers operating outside of traditional supply hubs by arranging bulk shipments efficiently and competitively from the UAE.”

On the digital front, Adamallys has introduced a digital catalog that integrates product details, specifications and certifications directly into customer’s existing procurement and ERP workflows. “This innovation not only enhances transparency but also significantly reduces communication overheads for procurement, leading to quicker and higher quality buying decisions,” adds Hassanally.

Looking ahead, Adamallys is poised to extend its logistics reach still further and to enhance the scope and functionality of the new digital catalog by including sustainability metrics for the products that it stocks.

Hassanally says: “This year, we initiated sustainability benchmarking for our inventory and our supply chain and expanded our product offering to include more locally and regionally sourced items. Transparently sharing this data with our customers enables them to take greater control over their carbon footprint by utilising Adamallys supply chain and integrated digital services.”
