Information about the Company

Unify Shipping Services Sdn Bhd (UniShip) was founded in 2016 with the aim to serve companies by optimizing their supply chain requirements and reducing logistics costs by delivering effective and efficient solutions to its customers. It offers a varied range of value-adding logistics services, such as customs clearance, trucking, and freight services, and it has since won the confidence of many MNC companies, with customers from both local and abroad such as Indonesia, Japan, Taiwan, and Turkey.

UniShip has also earned the trust of reputable shipping lines from other countries and has expanded its business to act as its shipping agent in Malaysia. It is currently representing shipping lines such as Amann Shipping Line which is majority owned by the Brunei government, Meratus Line which is the largest Indonesian shipping company, and New Guinea Pacific Line which is a fully owned subsidiary of the highly diversified Swire Group. Collectively, the agency representation allows UniShip to offer shipping and logistic services from Malaysia to Brunei, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, and the Solomon Islands.

UniShip’s asset-neutral strategy allows it to build a network of various professional asset-backed service providers. In doing so, it enables UniShip to quickly adapt to the dynamic changes in the supply chain with a clear emphasis on ‘solution to customers’ and without the constraints imposed by its own assets-related interests.

The company believes that dedicated teamwork compliments collaborative decisions, and agility, in terms of flexibility and working smart, as essential pillars for future success.

UniShip also believes in workplace flexibility to drive it forward in the industry. It adopts an agile and smart work environment to increase employees’ productivity and efficiency. The company encourages a work smart and workplace flexibility team culture that is receptive to embracing changes. UniShip’s culture further emphasizes the ‘buddy system’, where all employees have their own ‘buddy’ to support each other in order to enhance peer collaboration and promote working flexibility.

UniShip is a growing organization with a highly experienced and dedicated team. With its experience and know-how accumulated over the years, and backed by professional asset-backed partners and shipping line principals, UniShip will continue to expand its shipping agency and logistics business in Malaysia. Naturally, with the support of its principals from Brunei, and Indonesia, UniShip is also planning to extend its logistics service offerings at the regional level through collaborative initiatives with its partners.

Your ACT partner always Agile, Considerate, and Trusworthy.

Achievements and Impact

UniShip has come a long way since its establishment in 2016 to be one of the key players in the logistics and shipping industry. The company has won the confidence of MNC customers, both local and abroad from Indonesia, Japan, Taiwan, and Turkey, which are manufacturing various products from alloy products, automotive parts, electrical conductors, food ingredients, industrial chemicals, oleo-chemicals, and plastics products. Such diversity of clientele base from various industries has greatly helped UniShip to strive and continue to grow despite the pandemic.

Within the span of 5 years, UniShip has achieved significant growth in turnover to slightly above the USD10 million mark in 2021. The company has grown from just one office in Johor to a total of 4 offices with 42 employees covering all the major ports in Johor, Penang, Port Klang, and Kuantan. To sustain growth, UniShip will continue to strengthen its collaboration with shipping lines, principals, and other asset-backed land-side service providers.

Future Direction

UniShip has thrived on its ‘asset-neutral’ and ‘solution-driven’ strategy over the years. Moving ahead, it strongly believes that it should continue to be a ‘solution-driven’ company and collaborate with asset-backed service providers to cater to most of its requirements. However, UniShip is on the lookout for asset investment opportunities to target niche and specialized logistics requirements which is not readily available in Malaysia currently. Naturally, with the support of its principals from Brunei and Indonesia, UniShip is also planning to extend its logistics service offerings at the regional level through joint venture initiatives with its current partners and principals.
