Pan-Afrique Maritime Limited

Pan-Afrique Maritime Limited is a Nigerian maritime services firm with its primary administrative office located in Port Harcourt. The organization operates as a shipping and port agent, providing logistical and administrative support to vessel owners and operators across West Africa. Its regional reach extends to major Nigerian maritime hubs, including Lagos, Onne, Warri, and Calabar, where it manages the various requirements associated with vessel port calls and offshore operations. The company’s core activities involve navigating the regulatory framework of the Nigerian maritime industry. This includes direct coordination with the Nigerian Ports Authority, NIMASA, and various customs and immigration departments to facilitate vessel clearance and legal compliance. By handling these formalities, the agency ensures that ships can enter and depart ports without unnecessary delays. Documentation management is a central component of this role, covering both cargo-related paperwork and the technical certifications required by local law. In addition to port agency functions, the firm provides extensive husbandry services to support the daily needs of vessels and their personnel. These services include the management of crew changes, which involves securing visas, arranging medical care, and organizing local transportation. The agency also coordinates the delivery of essential supplies, such as bunker fuel, fresh water, and provisions, while assisting with technical repairs and spare parts logistics. By offering local operational assistance, the company acts as a primary contact for international shipowners, managing the interface between the vessel and the local port environment. Operational standards are maintained through a management system that has achieved ISO 9001:2015 certification. This framework supports the delivery of maritime logistics and agency services within the Gulf of Guinea. The firm’s presence in Port Harcourt, specifically within the GRA Phase 2 area, allows it to maintain close proximity to the industrial and oil and gas sectors that drive much of the region's shipping activity.
