Agencia Marítima Internacional

Agencia Marítima Internacional has been a foundational part of the South American maritime landscape since its establishment in 1960. Headquartered in Buenos Aires, Argentina, the company provides comprehensive shipping agency and logistics services across a strategic regional network that includes Argentina, Uruguay, and Paraguay. Its operational structure is designed to support the complex requirements of international shipping within the South Atlantic and the extensive Paraná River system. The company maintains a series of branch offices located in every major port and commercial hub in the region. In Argentina, it has a strong presence in the Up-River ports such as San Lorenzo and Rosario, as well as Atlantic terminals like Bahía Blanca and Quequén. Its reach extends across the border to include significant operations in Montevideo and Nueva Palmira in Uruguay, alongside dedicated services in Paraguay. This widespread office network ensures that shipowners and operators receive direct local assistance regardless of the specific terminal or waterway their vessels are utilizing. In its role as a port agent, the company manages the full lifecycle of a vessel’s port call. This includes the essential coordination with port authorities, customs, and immigration to ensure all legal and regulatory formalities are satisfied for vessel clearance. Operational support covers a wide range of husbandry services, such as facilitating crew changes, arranging for bunker and fresh water supplies, and managing the delivery of technical spares and provisions. The agency also handles the detailed documentation required for various cargo types and provides protective agency services to safeguard the interests of its clients. By overseeing stevedoring and terminal operations, the company helps minimize turnaround times for a diverse fleet that includes bulk carriers, tankers, container ships, and cruise vessels. This integrated approach to maritime operations relies on deep local knowledge and established relationships with regional stakeholders.
