Overview
From Beirut Harbours to the North Sea
Sultan Rashid Abdullah Rashid Al Shene — known daily as Sultan Al Shene — is Founder & CEO of Al Shene Marine Holding. His path runs from Beirut (b. 1954) to Aberdeen and the North Sea: shrimp, cold chain, and export. His son Rashid leads day-to-day operations.
Born in Beirut in 1954, maritime trade was already in the family. Childhood passed among harbour warehouses, customs papers, and the scent of the Mediterranean.
The Scots taught me how to stand against the storm in those freezing waters. I showed them how to present that red treasure from their nets to the world as a jewel.— Sultan Al Shene
