Chelonia Marine Agency serves the maritime industry as a dedicated shipping and port agency based in Tallinn, Estonia. Operating primarily within the Baltic Sea region, the firm functions as a critical link between international shipowners, charterers, and local maritime authorities. Its core mission involves facilitating smooth vessel operations across all major Estonian ports, ensuring that commercial ships can execute their voyages, cargo operations, and technical stops with minimal delay.
The agency’s operational footprint encompasses key maritime hubs including the ports of Muuga, Paldiski, Sillamäe, Kunda, and Pärnu. Beyond these fixed terminals, Chelonia Marine Agency maintains a strong focus on servicing vessels at the Tallinn anchorage. This capability allows the company to support ships that do not require a full port entry, offering a strategic advantage for operators looking to perform essential maintenance or crew logistics without incurring the higher costs associated with berthing. The agency coordinates these anchorage calls to ensure compliance with local regulations while managing the complex logistics of offshore support.
A significant portion of the company’s portfolio is dedicated to ship husbandry and technical maintenance. The agency organizes critical underwater services, such as hull cleaning and class inspections, which are vital for maintaining vessel fuel efficiency and regulatory compliance. Furthermore, the firm manages the coordination of de-slopping and bunkering operations, overseeing the transfer of fuels and waste to ensure environmental safety and operational continuity. For vessels requiring more extensive attention, the agency can arrange lay-by berths or dry-docking solutions at local shipyards, supervising repair works to facilitate a timely return to service.
In addition to technical support, Chelonia Marine Agency handles the human and logistical elements of shipping. The firm manages crew changes, a complex process involving immigration clearance, visa arrangements, and personnel transport, often executed directly at the anchorage. They also oversee the supply chain for vessels, expediting the delivery of urgent spare parts, provisions, and mail through customs channels. By integrating these diverse maritime support functions, Chelonia Marine Agency provides a comprehensive support structure for merchant vessels navigating the waters of Estonia and the surrounding Baltic routes.
