UNIVERSAL SHIPPING AGENCY S.A, established in Montevideo, was founded in 1974 by Mateo M. Elefteriu. Later in 1987 Capt. Miguel Elefteriu joined the family company as Director and  20 years ago his daughter María Gabriela Elefteriu also joined, being currently part of the BOD.

UNIVERSAL SHIPPING  is the continuation of four generations permanently linked to the shipping industry in the River Plate (Argentina and Uruguay)

The Elefteriu family name is fully identified with the shipping activity in Uruguay, celebrating more than 110 years of continued work devoted to its valued customers.

Now more than ever we feel very committed to maintain the high reputation of our predecessors with professionalism, creativity and new concepts, so as to keep the company at the highest standards required by today’s changeable and demanding world.

Thanks to our dedicated staff, we may proudly say that we are known as one of the Top Port and Husbanding Agencies in Uruguay.  Our gratitude to our team, whom we consider part of our family, having contributed to the company´s growth with their efforts and synergy.

We invite you to join our 50 anniversary celebration!
