PORT AGENCY DEPARTMENT


American Shipping and Chartering was established in 1980 as a Houston , Texas steamship agency to supplement the chartering and logistics services offered by their Principals.  Experience, reliability and extensive knowledge of United States ports, as well as Canadian and Mexican ports make our Agency department the preferred choice for many ship owners and operators.

 

Services performed by the agency department include but are not limited to:

  • Vessel clearance

  • Crew changes and general welfare

  • Engineering services (including supplies of bunkers and fresh water together with repairs/ labor for tank and bilge cleaning, underwater inspection and spares procurement)

  • Deck services

  • Surveys

  • Delivery of ship's spares

  • Dry dock co-ordination

  • Stevedoring arrangements

  • Financial Transactions

 

Since the Agency Department was established, it has represented a number of shipping lines and ship owners in the US , Europe and Asia .  Included in this list are the Clipper Group (including V.O.C. Steel Services, Boss Line, etc.), Bertling Logistics Int’l, Maersk Line Limited and Eurogulf Lines. 

The company's experience encompasses container and breakbulk services as well as operations, logistics and container control.

 

At the same time, for Principals requiring a representative office, American Shipping and Chartering can provide full support.
