Based in the commercial and maritime hub of Yangon, SPT Marine Agency Myanmar operates as a comprehensive service provider for the shipping and offshore industries. Established to bridge the gap between international vessel operators and local maritime authorities, the company functions primarily as a port agency, crew manning entity, and logistics partner. It is distinct in its organizational structure, being managed and directed by former mariners and experienced marine officers who apply their seagoing operational knowledge to shore-based management.
The company’s central mandate involves facilitating the entry, stay, and departure of vessels within Myanmar’s waters. As a port agent, SPT Marine Agency Myanmar acts as the local representative for shipowners, charterers, and operators. This role requires extensive coordination with the Myanmar Port Authority and the Shipping Agency Department to handle regulatory formalities. The agency manages essential husbandry duties, including inbound and outbound clearance, berthing arrangements, pilotage coordination, and customs documentation. By serving as a protecting agent, the company safeguards the interests of foreign principals, ensuring that port disbursement accounts are calculated accurately and that vessels comply with national maritime regulations.
Beyond port agency work, the company is deeply engaged in the human resource sector of the maritime industry. It operates as a crewing and recruitment agency, sourcing qualified officers and ratings from the local labor pool. Working in accordance with the regulations of the Myanmar Department of Marine Administration, the firm facilitates crew changes, handling necessary visas, travel logistics, and medical checks for seafarers joining or disembarking vessels.
The agency’s operational scope extends to logistics and ship supply. It functions as a ship chandler, organizing the provisioning of fresh water, deck and engine stores, and bunkers for visiting ships. In the freight sector, the company handles complex cargo operations, including break-bulk, liquid bulk, and project cargo. It has developed capabilities to assist with heavy lift shipments and provides freight forwarding services that integrate clearing and transportation. Through these multi-faceted operations, SPT Marine Agency Myanmar maintains a significant presence in the local supply chain, supporting both commercial merchant shipping and specialized project vessels calling at Yangon and surrounding terminals.
