Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between ship agency and OPA?

A ship agency represents the vessel and its owners in port, coordinating port formalities and operations. OPA — Owner's Protective Agency — is an additional service engaged on behalf of the owner or charterer to independently protect their commercial interests while the vessel is in port.

Are you available for vessels calling over weekends and holidays?

Yes. Our operations executives are on hand 365 days a year, so a vessel call is attended to regardless of the day it falls on.

Can you organise a crew change at the same time?

Crew change services are one of our core ship agency offerings and are frequently combined with a port call. Our separate Travel Desk handles the flight bookings, visas and onward transfers that go with it.
