Cmj Rieff & Sons, Ltd

We are primarily a professional shipping agency and logistics company in the Azores Islands with a rich history in the support of ships that cross the North Atlantic. With our origins as a ship agency, we have expanded into correlated businesses including forwarding, logistics, and ship chandlery, providing a one-stop shop for all the needs of the ships we service. Our company, which serves our principals in all of the Azores Islands, was founded in 1950 by Coronellius Maria Johannes Rieff and has since become one of the major players in our region in the fields of port operations, ship agency, and logistics. This growth is based on strong principles of honesty, professionalism, integrity, and efficiency. Due to the Dutch heritage of our founder and his connections to Northern Europe, the first liner services from that region to the Azores emerged soon after our inception. This liner service, which ran for almost 40 years, was for a while the sole regular international maritime route to the Azores, which had a significant impact on the growth of the business. Due to its importance as a marine link for the local Azorean traders, our agency developed a strong corporate reputation in our islands. CMJ Rieff & Sons, Ltd. is proud to continue to build on our founder's unique vision and strong principles while maintaining long-term relationships with many of the leading names in the shipping industry.
