Growing Global

Boustead Shipping has grown from a shipping agent to an integrated international logistics company with an impressive portfolio

Boustead Shipping is an established name in the Asia-Pacific shipping industry and beyond, having been at the forefront of this business for more than 170 years. Today, its business activities have expanded from a mere shipagent to an integrated logistics company encompassing a portfolio of full liner agency, customs’ forwarding, air freight services, cargo consolidation, warehousing, door-to-door delivery, transportation and freight forwarding.

Over the years, Boustead Shipping has succeeded in developing the Malaysian markets for mega carriers like American President Lines and Hyundai Merchant Marine – both of which were under its agency. Boustead Shipping retains a strong presence in the North American and European markets through its freight forwarding business.

Expanding core activities
With the view of expanding its core activities, Boustead Air was formed in 1992 to undertake air freight services. Today, it has an office-cum-warehouse space at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport Cargo Complex in Sepang, Malaysia.

In addition to acting as a correspondent for several P&I clubs, Boustead Shipping also handles applications for cable laying permits with the government authorities in Malaysian territorial waters and exclusive economic zone. In another development, BTL Sdn Bhd, which is registered with the Ministry of Finance in Malaysia, was set up to undertake government projects for hydrographic surveying and nautical charting. The company also provides hydrographic and geophysical survey services, principally to the oil and gas and telecommunication industries.

Boustead Shipping has 17 offices located throughout Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei, and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Boustead Holdings Berhad, the latter of which is listed on the Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange. The main activities of the Boustead Group are in plantations, finance and investment, property, manufacturing and trading, and the service industry.
