Artemis Shipping & Agency Company functions as a specialized entity based in İskenderun, focusing on the logistical and administrative requirements of vessels calling at Turkish ports. The company facilitates a wide range of shipping agency activities, ensuring that bulk carriers, tankers, and container ships navigate local regulations and port protocols effectively. Their team manages essential port agency tasks, including the preparation of necessary documentation, coordination with port authorities, and the oversight of cargo operations at major terminals such as LimakPort, İsdemir, and Atakaş. Beyond terminal operations, the firm assists with the logistical needs of a vessel, such as organizing bunker delivery, coordinating crew rotations, and arranging for the supply of fresh water and provisions.
The scope of work extends to the critical transit routes of the Bosphorus and the Dardanelles, where Artemis Shipping & Agency Company provides agency support for ships moving between the Mediterranean and Black Seas.

By coordinating between shipowners, charterers, and terminal operators, the company helps maintain the flow of maritime commerce, providing technical support and protective agency when vessels encounter mechanical issues or require specialized shore-based assistance during their stay in Turkish waters. The support offered covers diverse sectors of the industry, from managing complex cargo manifests to facilitating customs clearance and ensuring that all environmental and safety standards are met while a ship is under their care at the berth or in transit.
