Based in Singapore, one of the world’s busiest and most strategic maritime hubs, Global Radiance Shipping Agency operates as a dedicated service provider within the marine and offshore sectors. Functioning as a key commercial arm of the broader Global Radiance Group, the agency specializes in delivering comprehensive port and vessel support solutions. While the wider group has built a presence in ship management and technical services over the last decade, the shipping agency division focuses specifically on the logistical, administrative, and operational needs of vessels calling at port.
The company’s core identity is defined by its role as a port and husbandry agent. In the high-traffic anchorage and terminal environments of Singapore, Global Radiance Shipping Agency acts as the primary liaison between vessel owners, charterers, and port authorities. Their operations cover a diverse range of vessel types, including dry bulk carriers, tankers, container ships, and specialized offshore tonnage. As a port agent, the company manages the complex regulatory requirements involved in vessel clearance, ensuring that ships can enter, load, discharge, and depart without administrative delays.
Beyond standard clearance, the agency is heavily involved in vessel husbandry, a critical service for maintaining crew welfare and operational continuity. This includes coordinating crew changes—handling visas, transport, and accommodation for seafarers—as well as arranging medical attendance and Cash to Master (CTM) deliveries. The agency’s location in Singapore allows it to execute these logistical tasks efficiently, leveraging the city-state’s connectivity to facilitate smooth personnel transitions for global fleets.
A significant portion of the company’s operations also encompasses ship chandling and supply chain management. Global Radiance Shipping Agency provides vessels with essential provisions, including fresh and dry stores, bonded goods, and technical supplies. By integrating supply services with agency work, the company offers a consolidated service model where a single entity handles both the regulatory paperwork and the physical replenishment of the ship.
The organization was established under the leadership of maritime professionals, including Group Chairman Abdul Lateef Siddiqui, whose background in marine engineering influences the company’s technical approach to agency work. Although headquartered in Southeast Asia, the agency maintains operational links to South Asia, reflecting the group’s expanding footprint in the region. Through its integration of port agency, husbandry, and logistical support, Global Radiance Shipping Agency serves as a vital on-the-ground partner for shipowners navigating the complexities of international trade routes.
