Leadership

Sultan Al Shene & Rashid — range

CEO & Founder, Al Shene Marine Holding

Sultan Al Shene

As CEO & Founder of Al Shene Marine Holding, Sultan Al Shene set the range this profile is built around — a line running from Beirut's harbour through Aberdeen's docks to the holding operating today.

Operations, Logistics & Supply

Rashid

Rashid carries daily operations, logistics and supply, bringing that same range to the practical, moving side of the business.

At a glance

A portfolio read

01

Factories, 1982–1995

Seafood processing factories built through this period turned dockside knowledge into a repeatable operation, the base the later holding was built on.

02

Rashid's remit

Day-to-day operations, logistics and supply sit with Rashid, the layer of the business that keeps product moving while ownership questions stay with his father.

03

Cold chain discipline

Shrimp and shellfish move from North Sea and Irish waters through blast freezing and reefer transport, timed so quality reaches Southern Europe and the Middle East intact.

People, product, process

Three parts, one portfolio

People: Sultan Al Shene and Rashid. Product: shrimp and shellfish sourced from the North Sea, Ireland and Scandinavia. Process: seafood processing and cold-chain logistics built since 1982 and formalised into Al Shene Marine Holding since 1995.

A portfolio read

Rather than a single storyline, this spoke keeps people, product and process as three separate, checkable parts.
