Harbor Ships Services is a maritime agency based in Lebanon that has provided shipping and port services since its founding in 1988. Headquartered in Beirut, the company manages marine operations and vessel port calls through a network that extends to every major commercial port in the country. This geographic reach is supported by branch offices in Tripoli, Sidon, Selaata, and Tyre, allowing for localized attendance and direct coordination at each Lebanese maritime entry point.
As a shipping agent, the company acts as the primary liaison between shipowners, vessel operators, and local port authorities. Its core activities involve managing the administrative requirements of a port call, including vessel clearance, customs formalities, and immigration procedures. The agency ensures that all necessary documentation is handled to facilitate the arrival and departure of diverse vessel types, such as livestock carriers, tankers, and bulk vessels.
The operational support provided by the agency includes comprehensive husbandry services designed to maintain vessel readiness and crew welfare. These tasks encompass the coordination of crew changes, medical assistance, and the delivery of essential supplies like provisions and fresh water. On the technical side, the company facilitates bunkering operations, ship repairs, and underwater maintenance tasks, including hull cleaning and inspections.
Beyond the immediate port environment, the agency manages logistics for various cargo categories, including grain and oil products, and provides land transport and freight forwarding services to support the movement of goods from the terminal to their destination. By integrating port agency functions with technical and logistical support, the company serves as a centralized contact for international maritime activities within Lebanese waters.
