Ships Agency and International Logistics Co LLC

Ships Agency and International Logistics Co LLC (SHIPCO) functions as a primary point of contact for vessel owners and operators requiring attendance across the Sultanate of Oman. The organization manages a broad spectrum of port agency activities, including vessel inward and outward clearances, crew changes, and the coordination of ship supplies. With a presence at major Sultanate gateways, the company provides support at Port Sultan Qaboos, the Port of Salalah, Sohar Port, the Port of Duqm, and Port of Khasab. These locations serve as critical hubs for diverse cargo types, including bulk, tankers, and container vessels, where specialized teams handle documentation, berth arrangements, and technical requirements. Beyond standard vessel attendance, SHIPCO facilitates specialized logistics solutions such as freight forwarding and project cargo management. This involves overseeing the movement of heavy-lift shipments and coordinating multi-modal transport to meet the needs of international trade lanes. The company maintains quality standards through an ISO 9001:2015 certification and holds active memberships in globally recognized professional bodies such as the Federation of National Associations of Ship Brokers and Agents (FONASBA) and the Baltic and International Maritime Council (BIMCO). These affiliations underscore a commitment to international standards in ship handling and administrative efficiency. The scope of work extends to bunkering services, waste disposal coordination, and emergency technical support for ships at anchorage or alongside. By maintaining close communication with port authorities and local customs offices, the agency ensures that every vessel turnaround is processed with attention to regulatory compliance. This comprehensive approach to logistics and marine services allows for smooth transitions through Omani waters, supporting the efficiency of global supply chains that rely on the strategic location of the Middle East. Each branch office within the country functions under a unified management structure to provide consistent results for diverse fleet requirements and complex maritime operations.
