Jeropoulos
Shipping was established in 1958.
In 1981 the company established the port of
Larnaca as the Mediterranean hub for containers
of DSR and reached over few years the amount
of 200 thousand containers to be transhipped
the whole of Mediterranean via Larnaca with
own feeder vessels and later contracted with
individual feedering systems.
Over the years our company was a pioneer in
the container and transhipment business and
was engaged in all relevant activities. On
our initiative a container repair and refurbishment
company was founded.
Presently, despite the small volume due to
service restrictions, priority is given by
the company to United Arab Shipping services. UASC
(United Arab Shipping Company)
- which we are their exclusive agents in Cyprus
- was established in July 1976 jointly by
the six share holding states from the Arabian
Gulf.
The Company's authorized capital is US $ 1770
million of which US$ 991 million has been
subscribed.
As the National Line of the Arabian Gulf states,
UASC's primary
mission is
to serve the shipping needs of the Arabian
Gulf region. UASC also aims
to expand into global trades, where commercially
feasible,

services network to its customers. UASC offers
a comprehensive range of containerized &
breakbulk services between the Arabian Gulf,
Red Sea and the major trade center's of the
Far East, Europe, North/South American, South

Most importantly our
plans include exclusive handling of
cargoes for import and export on behalf of
Cypriot shippers and receivers.
