Carpenters Shipping was launched in March 2010 to provide niche shipping
services to the Asia-Pacific markets.

Carpenters Shipping is wholly owned by its parent company MBf Holdings Sdn Bhd, a publicly listed Malaysian conglomerate. The business activities of MBf Holdings span financial services, retail, trading, plantations, industry and property divisions. MBf operates extensive business activities in the South Pacific, and the Line provides shipping services to a wide range of in-house cargo owners, as well as an expanding portfolio of contract and open market clients.

The Line is committed to supporting and developing trade in the region through its competitive and dynamic service capabilities - as one of the few truly independent operators in the region, we have the capability to rapidly adapt to the ever changing marketplace.

Carpenters Shipping currently operates two deep-sea vessels and offers a comprehensive direct port coverage, coupled with a wide range of transhipment services. We offer shipping services for dry and reefer containers, and operate a fleet of special equipment to facilitate breakbulk and project cargoes. In addition to our international services, we hold a coastal licence in Papua New Guinea, and offer shipping services within Papua New Guinea for both international and domestic cargoes.
The New Zealand based Head Office for Carpenters Shipping is supported by its Regional Office team in Kuala Lumpur.

In addition, our extensive agency network is a blend of third party Agents across Asia, coupled with our own in-house Agents throughout the Pacific. Our teams have a wealth of experience in liner shipping and in particular within Oceania.

As significant cargo owners in our own right, we understand the challenges and complexities of doing business in the region, and our team is focussed on supporting trade and industry through our reliable shipping solutions and far-reaching industry networks.

We’re ‘Making Waves’ by delivering a schedule reliability that you can feel confident building your business around, and offering a Client Services approach that is always there to help. Why not contact one of our team to find out more about how we can assist your business?
