Ocean Liner Services

Ocean Liner Services provides comprehensive ship agency and port representation at the key entry points along the Namibian coastline. With a dedicated presence in both Walvis Bay and Lüderitz, the team handles various vessel types, ranging from container ships and tankers to offshore supply vessels and fishing fleets. These services include coordinating port entries, berth allocations, and managing all required documentation with local authorities to ensure efficient turnarounds for international shipowners. Beyond standard port agency duties, the organization manages technical requirements such as bunkering coordination, repairs, and supply logistics. Crew welfare is also a priority, with support for crew changes, medical assistance, and visa processing to facilitate smooth transitions during port stays. The operational standards maintained by Ocean Liner Services adhere to rigorous international requirements. The agency holds ISO 9001:2015 certification for quality management and maintains TRACE certification, which underscores a commitment to transparent and ethical business practices. Professional affiliations include memberships in the Federation of National Associations of Ship Brokers and Agents as well as the Baltic and International Maritime Council. These connections ensure that the agency remains aligned with global shipping standards and regulatory developments. By managing the complexities of clearing and forwarding alongside specialized offshore support, the agency serves as a vital link between sea-based operations and land-based logistics. Whether overseeing ship husbandry or coordinating heavy lift cargo, the focus remains on delivering reliable and accurate maritime support tailored to the specific needs of each vessel. This localized expertise combined with broad industry knowledge allows for effective management of both scheduled liner services and ad-hoc tramp calls within the Southern African region.
