Agence maritime

A maritime agency represents the shipowner or charterer in a given port. In practical terms, our teams handle all operations related to a vessel’s port call: declarations to port authorities, berthing coordination, supervision of commercial operations, and interface with customs and health services.As a maritime agency in Africa,XPRO Group provides the essential local representation required in ports where on-the-ground knowledge makes all the difference.

Yes, vessel consignment is at the core of our maritime agency activity. We organize each port call from start to finish: upstream preparation, vessel reception, coordination of loading or unloading operations, management of administrative formalities, and settlement of port dues. This gives the shipowner a single point of contact to secure the smooth running of the port call and minimize vessel downtime.

Absolutely. Crew change is a sensitive operation requiring coordination and responsiveness. Our teams handle seafarer reception, immigration formalities, transport between the airport and the port, accommodation where required, and documentation management. In addition, we also provide husbandry services: provisioning, medical assistance, spare parts, and any support the vessel and crew may need during the port call.

Through our network of local entities and selected partners, we operate in the main ports of West, Central, and Southern Africa. Our presence on the continent is supported in particular by XSEN Logistics in Senegal and XPRO Namibia. However, our network extends well beyond these two countries: we mobilize reliable correspondents in most commercial ports across the continent according to your needs.

Oui, nous savons gérer les escales imprévues : déroutement technique, escale d’avitaillement, urgence médicale à bord ou changement de programme. En effet, notre présence locale nous permet de réagir vite et de mobiliser les bons interlocuteurs portuaires dans des délais courts. Pour toute demande, qu’elle soit planifiée ou urgente, contact our team: to discuss your project.
