ATLANTIC SHIPPING

Based in Dakar, Senegal, Atlantic Shipping has operated as a specialized maritime service provider since its establishment in 1994. Functioning primarily as a port agency and logistics partner, the company serves vessels calling at West African ports, offering a comprehensive suite of solutions designed to support shipowners, charterers, and managers during their coastal operations. As a limited liability entity, it has developed a focused operational footprint that integrates administrative support with technical and logistical ground handling. The company’s core identity revolves around its role as a full-service ship agent. It manages the complex regulatory and administrative requirements for incoming and outgoing vessels, handling clearance formalities with local authorities such as customs, immigration, and port health officials. Beyond documentation, Atlantic Shipping is deeply involved in crew management logistics. The firm coordinates personnel logistics, including sign-on and sign-off procedures, ground transportation, and accommodation, ensuring that seafarers move efficiently between the vessel and transit hubs. Distinct from simple administrative agencies, Atlantic Shipping maintains active technical and supply capabilities. Acting as a ship chandler, the company provisions vessels with essential stores, including fresh food, bonded stores, and technical spares required for ongoing voyages. This supply chain function is complemented by a specific focus on vessel maintenance. Through its dedicated repair department, known as Delta Marine Industrie (DMI), the company extends its services to cover ship repairs, offering technical interventions that allow vessels to address mechanical issues without prolonged downtime. Strategically located in close proximity to the port infrastructure, the company emphasizes readiness and accessibility, capable of executing operations around the clock. Its scope further includes cargo handling oversight, managing the loading and discharging processes to protect the interests of cargo owners and carriers. Additionally, the firm provides environmental services such as garbage and sludge disposal, aligning with port waste management protocols. By combining agency representation, technical repair capabilities, and logistical supply into a single service structure, Atlantic Shipping functions as a central support node for maritime traffic navigating the Atlantic coast of West Africa.
