Aarus Maritima is a specialized provider of logistics and port agency services with a distinct focus on the Western Mediterranean and North African trade routes. Since its establishment in 1993, the company has operated as a comprehensive ship agent, serving as a critical liaison between vessel owners, charterers, and port authorities. Its operational footprint covers the entirety of the Spanish coastline and extends to Gibraltar and Portugal, while also maintaining a strong presence in North African hubs including ports in Morocco, Tunisia, Algeria, Libya, and Egypt.
The company functions primarily as a centralized hub agency. Instead of relying on fragmented communication across different locations, it consolidates vessel operations through a single point of contact. This structure allows the organization to manage the complex administrative and financial aspects of port calls - such as disbursement accounts and regulatory documentation—ensuring consistent service standards across multiple jurisdictions. The firm represents the commercial interests of its principals, overseeing the efficient turnaround of vessels ranging from bulk carriers to specialized offshore support units.
Beyond standard agency representation, Aarus Maritima is deeply integrated into the physical supply chain. Its logistics division manages stevedoring operations, warehousing, and customs clearance, facilitating the smooth transition of cargo from sea to land. The company has developed specific technical expertise in the energy and industrial sectors, frequently handling complex project cargo. This involves the planning and execution of heavy-lift transport for large-scale infrastructure, where precision and specialized port equipment are required to move out-of-gauge components.
To support the operational continuity of merchant fleets, the company provides extensive husbandry services. These operations include coordinating crew changes, medical assistance, and the delivery of ship spares and provisions. The firm also arranges essential technical support, such as bunkering, repairs, and dry-docking coordination. By employing a team that includes former mariners and naval engineers, Aarus Maritima applies technical maritime knowledge to its logistics solutions, ensuring that both vessel requirements and cargo safety are prioritized throughout the shipping process. The organization acts as a fully integrated customs broker, managing the legal entry and exit of goods to maintain compliance with international trade regulations.
