Columbus Shipping & Trading Agency

Columbus Shipping & Trading Agency operates as part of a group comprising three entities: AFZMCO, Dawn Co for Shipping & Trading Agency, and Columbus Shipping & Services Co. The combined activities cover a range of maritime and logistics services that reflect a broad engagement in shipping operations and related support functions. The group highlights capabilities in general trade (import and export) and emphasizes its roles as charterers and subcontractors within the shipping sector. Its scope also includes ship management and chartering, indicating services that oversee the technical and operational aspects of vessels under management or charter. In addition, the entities provide access to ports and container handling equipment supplies, which suggests involvement in the provisioning and coordination of essential portside resources for efficient cargo operations. Heavy-lift and project-related shipments, both sea-based and land-based, are noted, signaling a capacity to manage complex logistics requirements associated with significant cargoes and multi-modal routes. The designation as a shipping and protecting agency points to activity in agency support functions for ships visiting ports, including liaising with port authorities and coordinating port calls. Finally, a commercial agency role is indicated for DHIDCW, underscoring the group’s participation in representing other maritime or shipping-related interests within the market. Collectively, these activities illustrate a diversified maritime services provider with a focus on chartering, ship management, port operations, and project cargo capabilities, anchored in the Halab (Aleppo) region of Syria.
