The Investment Corporation of Dubai, the investment arm of the Government of Dubai, has announced the launch of ISS Global Forwarding, a new initative focussing on supply chain logistics.
The Government of Dubai has created ISS Global Forwarding in order to separate Inchcape Shipping Services Holding Ltd into two standalone companies with the aim of optimising the growth potential, customer focus and core competencies of each.
Headquartered in Dubai and operating out of the Dubai Airport Free Zone, strategically located in the heart of Dubai adjacent to Dubai Airport, ISS Global Forwarding will focus on core activities of Global Freight Forwarding, Contract Logistics and Projects / Oil & Gas.
ISS Global Forwarding will initially be present in 18 countries across the Middle East, Africa, Europe, India and Turkey.
As part of its ambitious growth strategy, the company will expand its footprint to Asia Pacific, mainland China and Singapore.

In addition, ISS Global Forwarding benefits from a global network thanks to partnerships with global operators, thereby providing its customers with multimodal, end-to-end supply chain solutions.

“We are establishing ourselves as a regional powerhouse and our aspiration is to be recognised within the supply chain logistics industry as a customer centric organisation” said Mr. Moretti.
H.E. Mohammed Ibrahim Al Shaibani, CEO & Executive Director of the Investment Corporation of Dubai, said: “We are confident in the future global growth opportunities presented by the supply chain logistics industry.
