GSP Agency

Based in Piraeus, the historic heart of the Greek shipping industry, GSP Agency operates as a specialized maritime services provider dedicated to vessel support and crew management. Located on Akti Miaouli, a central hub for global maritime commerce, the company functions as a dedicated partner for ship owners, operators, and managers who require reliable representation within Greek ports. The firm acts as a comprehensive link between the vessel and the shore, handling the complex logistical and administrative tasks required when a ship calls at port or transits through the region. The core of the company’s operations lies in its function as a shipping agency. GSP Agency manages the critical formalities associated with port calls, ensuring that inward and outward clearances are processed efficiently with local authorities. This operational scope extends to the coordination of essential port services, such as ordering pilots and tugboats to facilitate safe maneuvering. Beyond regulatory compliance, the agency provides extensive husbandry services, overseeing the delivery of fresh water, the removal of garbage and sludge, and the clearance and forwarding of spare parts and provisions. When technical needs arise, the company arranges for specialized maintenance, including underwater hull inspections, cleaning, and propeller polishing, ensuring vessels maintain optimal performance. A distinct and significant component of GSP Agency’s portfolio is its focus on seafarers. Recognizing the human element of shipping, the company has developed a robust infrastructure for crew logistics and administration. This includes managing the practical aspects of crew changes, such as sign-on and sign-off procedures, airport ticketing, transportation, and hotel accommodation. Furthermore, the agency supports the professional certification of mariners. It assists with the issuance and renewal of Seaman’s Books and validates certificates of service. Notably, the firm facilitates administrative processes for training and education, handling registrations for KESEN (the Centre for Further Education of Seafarers) for masters, engineers, and other crew members, as well as the issuance of Greek and foreign diplomas. Through this combination of technical port agency work and specialized crew administration, GSP Agency maintains a focused presence in the Greek maritime sector. Its operations are characterized by a deep understanding of local regulations and a commitment to protecting the interests of principals through cost-effective and timely service delivery.
