Artemis Shipping & Agency Company is a distinct maritime service provider headquartered in Iskenderun, Turkey, serving as a comprehensive support hub for vessels operating in the Eastern Mediterranean and the Black Sea regions. Established to meet the complex logistical needs of the shipping industry, the firm has developed a robust operational network that covers all major Turkish ports. Its strategic positioning allows it to act as a critical facilitator for merchant traffic navigating the region's waterways, with a particular emphasis on the highly strategic Bosphorus and Dardanelles Straits.
The company’s primary identity is that of a ship agent and physical supplier, functioning as a vital link between international shipowners and the local maritime infrastructure. For vessels transiting the Turkish Straits, which serve as the essential connector between Europe and Asia, Artemis coordinates passage logistics to ensure compliance with strict local traffic regulations. This involves managing the immediate transmission of arrival and departure information, securing necessary clearances, and overseeing smooth transit operations to minimize delays in these congested waterways.
Beyond transit coordination, the company provides an extensive array of port agency and husbandry services. These operations include arranging crew changes, facilitating cash-to-master deliveries, and managing the supply of fresh water and provisions at anchorage or berth. A significant component of its portfolio is its role as a physical bunker supplier. The firm holds the necessary licenses to deliver marine fuels, including various grades of IFO and MGO, directly to vessels. This capability is supported by its distribution of marine lubricants and paints, where it acts as a representative for established industry manufacturers to ensure vessels have access to essential maintenance supplies.
Artemis Shipping & Agency Company also extends its expertise into technical management and repair coordination. The firm assists clients with drydocking attendance at Turkish shipyards and organizes technical teams for voyage repairs, diving support, and sludge collection. By integrating logistics, foreign trade, and technical oversight into a single agency framework, the company operates as a multifaceted partner for operators in Turkish waters. Its 24/7 operational model is designed to handle the unpredictable nature of maritime schedules, ensuring that vessels receive administrative, technical, and logistical support around the clock.
