Based in the United Arab Emirates, Atlanta Marine Services operates as a dedicated maritime support provider, functioning primarily as a ship agency and marine supplier. Headquartered in Khorfakkan, a strategic maritime hub within the Sharjah emirate, the company facilitates vessel operations across the region's critical waterways and terminals. It serves the commercial shipping and offshore sectors by acting as a central liaison between vessel operators, port authorities, and local service providers, ensuring that ships entering UAE waters experience streamlined port calls and efficient turnaround times.
The company’s core identity is anchored in its dual role as a port agent and a ship chandler. As a port agent, Atlanta Marine Services manages the complex administrative and regulatory requirements associated with vessel arrivals and departures. This includes handling customs documentation, port clearance, and immigration formalities, which are essential for legal compliance and operational continuity. Beyond paperwork, the firm provides comprehensive vessel husbandry services. These responsibilities encompass the coordination of crew changes—managing visas, transportation, and accommodation for seafarers—as well as arranging medical assistance and other personnel logistics that support crew welfare during port stays.
In parallel with its agency work, the company functions as a comprehensive ship chandler and logistics provider. It supplies vessels with a wide array of provisions, ranging from fresh and frozen food to bonded stores and cabin supplies, ensuring that ships are fully stocked for their onward voyages. The operational scope extends to technical support, where the company organizes the clearance and delivery of critical ship spares, deck equipment, and engine components. This logistics capability is vital for vessels requiring urgent maintenance or parts while at anchorage or alongside a berth.
Atlanta Marine Services also supports technical marine operations, including the coordination of underwater jobs, desloping, and bunkering facilitation. Its presence in key locations such as Khorfakkan and Fujairah places it near major bunkering anchorages, allowing it to service vessels undergoing refueling or ship-to-ship transfer operations. By integrating agency, husbandry, and supply chain services, the company supports the operational readiness of diverse vessel types, from cargo ships to offshore support units, throughout the United Arab Emirates’ maritime network.
