About Gulftainer Company Limited
In 1976, Gulftainer was launched to operate the first container terminal in the Middle East, the Sharjah Container Terminal. From these humble beginnings, Gulftainer is now one of the world's leading international ports and logistics solution providers and the first and only operator from the Middle East to manage ports in the USA. One of Gulftainer's terminals in the UAE has been ranked as the No. 1 most productive port in Europe, Middle East and Asia (EMEA), and No. 3 in the world by the US Journal of Commerce. This achievement has been made possible because Gulftainer continues to invest in skilled and motivated people, processes, state of the art equipment and port infrastructure. This terminal was also chosen as the first port of call in the Middle East for CMA CGM's Explorer class vessel the Marco Polo – at the time, the world's largest container ship – on its maiden voyage across the Persian Gulf.
