IT Solutions for Maritime & Port Companies in Dubai

Reliable office networks, CCTV, access control, and IT infrastructure for shipping agents, freight forwarders, vessel managers, port service providers, and maritime companies operating in Dubai, Jebel Ali, and across the UAE.

Supporting Dubai's Maritime Industry with Robust IT

Jebel Ali Port is consistently ranked among the world's top 10 busiest ports, handling over 14 million TEUs annually. Dubai's maritime sector encompasses hundreds of businesses — shipping lines, freight forwarders, customs agents, vessel management companies, marine surveyors, supply boat operators, and port services firms. Many are based in JAFZA, Dubai Maritime City, or along the Creek.

Maritime businesses operate with tight turnarounds, global counterparties, and around-the-clock vessel schedules. IT infrastructure that fails during a vessel call or cargo clearance has real financial consequences. We build office IT environments designed for reliability and security in the maritime sector.

Technology Challenges in Maritime

Round-the-Clock Operations

Vessel arrivals, port calls, and cargo clearances happen at all hours. IT systems — email, phones, tracking systems — must be available 24/7 without scheduled downtime.

Warehouse & Yard Connectivity

Yard operations rely on handheld scanners, mobile workstations, and vehicle-mounted devices. WiFi coverage across large open yards and warehouses presents specific infrastructure challenges.

Multi-Location Management

Offices across JAFZA, Dubai Maritime City, Port Rashid, and city locations need reliable interconnection and consistent IT standards managed centrally.

Document Security

Bills of lading, certificates of origin, customs declarations, and cargo manifests are high-value documents. Access to document systems and physical document stores must be controlled and logged.

CCTV for Port-Area Facilities

Warehouses, freight stations, vehicle parks, and perimeter areas require comprehensive video surveillance. Port security authorities may require documentation of camera coverage.

High-Volume Communications

Shipping agencies and port service firms handle enormous call volumes during vessel calls. Phone systems must handle peaks without calls dropping or queuing indefinitely.

How We Support Maritime Companies

Office & Operations Centre Networks

Structured cabling, enterprise WiFi, and managed switching for maritime offices of all sizes — from a 5-person ship agency to a 200-person freight forwarder. Redundant internet connections with automatic failover ensure connectivity even during ISP outages. We design networks that segment operational traffic from administrative systems, keeping critical workflows isolated.

Warehouse & Yard WiFi

Industrial-grade wireless access points providing comprehensive coverage across warehouses, freight stations, open yards, and multi-floor port area buildings. RF planning ensures handheld scanners and mobile devices maintain reliable connections throughout operations areas without dead zones.

CCTV for Maritime Facilities

Camera systems covering cargo handling areas, container inspection points, vehicle entrances, perimeter fencing, and offices. High-definition recording retained for the periods required by port security programmes. Remote monitoring allows security managers to view any facility in real time from a central control point.

Access Control for Secure Areas

Smart card and biometric access for server rooms, document vaults, cash offices, and restricted operational areas. Access logs with timestamps provide the audit trail required by customs authorities and port security teams. Automatic expiry of access for contractors and short-term staff.

VoIP Telephony for High-Volume Agencies

Scalable VoIP systems with multi-line capacity, ring groups for operations and accounts teams, and call recording. Conference bridges for vessel agent communications. Voicemail-to-email ensures no call is missed even during the busiest vessel calls.

Server & Data Infrastructure

On-premise server infrastructure for port management systems, cargo tracking applications, and document management platforms. Automated daily backups with off-site replication protect operational records. UPS power protection keeps systems live during the frequent brief power events in port-area facilities.

We Know the JAFZA and Dubai Maritime City Buildings

We've worked in multiple JAFZA offices and Dubai Maritime City locations. We understand the cabling constraints, the building management rules, and the port-area security requirements. Site surveys happen fast and installation timelines are realistic.

For urgent moves or new office setups when a vessel arrival drives a tight deadline, we can mobilise quickly.
