GPS Shipping Agency operates as a specialized maritime service provider headquartered in Egypt, serving as a comprehensive partner for ship owners, charterers, and managers navigating the region's critical waterways. Positioned strategically within the country’s maritime hubs, the company focuses on facilitating vessel operations across all major Egyptian ports, with a particular emphasis on the Port Said area and the Suez Canal. Its core mission revolves around delivering integrated agency solutions that ensure the smooth and efficient turnaround of vessels, minimizing downtime and navigating the complex regulatory environment of local authorities.
The agency’s operations are deeply rooted in the management of Suez Canal transits, a vital service for global trade. GPS Shipping Agency coordinates the intricate logistics required for convoy navigation, handling the necessary documentation, financial settlements, and communication with canal officials to secure timely passage. Beyond transit coordination, the company acts as a protecting agent, safeguarding the interests of ship owners and operators by supervising port calls and ensuring that all third-party services are executed according to industry standards.
A significant portion of the company’s portfolio is dedicated to husbandry services. GPS Shipping Agency manages the essential human and technical needs of a vessel while it is in port or at anchor. This includes organizing crew changes—handling visa formalities, meet-and-greet services, and transportation—as well as facilitating medical assistance and Cash to Master (CTM) deliveries. The agency maintains a fleet of vehicles to transport personnel and cargo safely and efficiently between terminals and airports.
Complementing its agency work, the company offers extensive logistics and ship supply services. It functions as a ship chandler, providing vessels with fresh provisions, bonded stores, cabin supplies, and technical deck and engine equipment. The agency also operates warehousing facilities including refrigeration units to stock essential goods. Through its freight forwarding and customs clearance capabilities, GPS Shipping Agency manages the movement of spare parts and parcels, ensuring that critical marine components reach vessels promptly. By integrating logistics, supply, and agency representation, the company establishes itself as a single-source solution for maritime operators entering Egyptian waters.
