The<br>change is with effect from 13th December 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our company suffix will thereby change, and our company name moving forward will<br>be EMIRATES SHIPPING LINE FZE (formerly, EMIRATES SHIPPING LINE<br>DMCEST).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please note, this is a legal name change only and should have minimal impact on you and<br>your business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The changing of our licensing authority and the company suffix does not necessitate any<br>modification of existing contracts and agreements, and remittances can still be carried out<br>with the old suffix, as per existing contracts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our website and future contracts will be updated, and instances where the full company<br>name is displayed will have the new suffix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We greatly appreciate your understanding and look forward to continuing our partnership<br>with ESL. Please do not hesitate to contact our Customer Service and Sales<br>representatives in case of any further queries or concerns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Global Customer Service<br>Emirates Shipping Line<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>FAQ<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What is the change?<br>With effect from 13th December 2023, the licensing authority of Emirates Shipping Line has<br>been transferred from Dubai Maritime City to Jebel Ali Free Zone Authority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why are we changing the licensing authority?<br>In line with the Decree (No.3) of 2023 issued by Govt. of Dubai<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How does it impact customers?<br>This is a name change only and should have minimal impact on our customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Our products and services delivered are unchanged<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Our contracts are unchanged<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Company codes and bank accounts are unchanged<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rights and obligations area unchanged<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Will customers get a new contract?<br>Since this is a name change only, contracts including all terms and conditions, otherwise<br>remain unchanged.
