ABOUT MERSA · FOUNDED IN EGYPT
RE-ENGINEERING SHIP SUPPLY FROM THE NILE DELTA OUTWARD
OUR THESIS
THE FOUNDERS
MERSA was founded by three young Egyptian operators who saw the same problem from different sides of the dock — and decided to fix it together.
CO-FOUNDER
Co-Founder & CEO
Systems builder. Designed MERSA's technical backbone from the ground up — IoT cold-chain telemetry, the operations dashboard, and the client portal where every reefer temperature, BDN signature, and vessel ETA updates in real time. Believes great software is what turns a shipping promise into an actual delivery.
CO-FOUNDER
Co-Founder & COO
Systems thinker. Designed MERSA's logistics backbone, the IoT cold-chain stack, and the client portal that lets fleet managers see every reefer temperature in real time. Builds for scale.
CO-FOUNDER
Co-Founder & COO
Boots on the dock. Runs day-to-day port operations across Damietta and the wider Egyptian network — berth coordination, supplier relationships, and the on-the-ground execution that turns a requisition into pallets on deck before the vessel sails.
A WORD FROM THE FOUNDERS
When we started, we were three young Egyptians watching ships call at our ports and waiting hours longer than they should have.
Cold chains broke because nobody was watching. Spares cleared customs too late because the paperwork sat on the wrong desk. Captains got stores on board with no traceable record of where they came from or what condition they were in. The whole industry had quietly accepted that this was just how ship supply worked.
We didn't accept it.
We started MERSA from a single warehouse in Damietta with a simple promise: every order tracked, every reefer monitored, every BDN signed digitally, every phone call answered. No exceptions. No excuses.
We're young — and that's not a disclaimer, it's the point. We don't carry the assumptions that have held this industry back. We use IoT sensors where others use clipboards. We answer quotes in four hours where others take four days. We give clients a portal where they can see their order at every step, because we'd want the same if it were our cargo.
Egypt sits at the most important crossroads in global trade. Every container ship between Asia and Europe passes within sight of our ports. We think the best ship suppliers of the next century will be operated from here — not because of geography alone, but because a new generation of Egyptian operators is willing to do this work better than it has ever been done.
That's the company we're building. Thank you for being part of it.
OUR TEAM
Behind every quote, every reefer reading, every BDN signature — a senior team that keeps the bridge talking and the warehouse moving.
Chief Financial Officer
Numbers behind every voyage. Owns MERSA's treasury, multi-currency billing, and the cost discipline that lets us quote in four hours without ever inflating a line. Keeps the books as tight as the cold chain.
Chief Technology Officer
Architect of the stack that runs the dock. Owns MERSA's IoT cold-chain telemetry, the operations dashboard, and the client portal — every reefer reading, BDN signature, and vessel ETA flowing through systems he built. Treats uptime like a berth slot: non-negotiable.
WHERE WE'RE HEADING
VALUES
Operations staffed 24/7. Quotes inside four hours. Emergencies inside ninety minutes. Always.
Every reefer log, every BDN, every customs declaration — visible to the client in real time.
If we wouldn't put it on a ship we own, it doesn't leave our warehouse.
A young team beats an experienced one when the young team cares more. We hire for that.
Local suppliers, local talent, and the infrastructure that makes our ports world-class.
Every system we build assumes someone better will inherit it. We make that easier, not harder.
Whether you're a fleet operator or a future MERSA hire — we'd like to hear from you.
