About ARS Enterprises

A diversified group, built on marine expertise.

ARS Enterprises (Private) Limited was founded in 2009. ARS Marine Services was our entry point into the shipping industry and the foundation of the wider group.

Today the group operates across trade, shipping, marine, logistics, technology and construction, with offices in Sweden, Canada, the United Kingdom, Singapore, Abu Dhabi and Pakistan. Marine and shipping remain at our core, alongside a growing trade and products business, inland logistics, supply chain, technology and construction.

Why companies choose ARS

Built to be the one call you make.

Most trade in Pakistan runs through five or six disconnected vendors. ARS Enterprises was built to be the one that owns the outcome, not just a piece of it.

03

Legal authority to close out cargo

Among the few providers able to carry unclaimed cargo through formal auction or certified destruction, not just flag the problem.

04

Twenty plus services, one relationship

From fumigation to trade finance documentation, coordinated through vetted licensed partners under our management.
