Unimare Shipping Agent Group began its operations in Olbia in 1974, focusing on the management of port agency duties across the island of Sardinia. As a specialized entity in the Mediterranean shipping sector, the agency handles the requirements of various vessel types, including cargo ships, tankers, and luxury yachts. The organization maintains its primary office in Viale Principe Umberto while extending its reach through a network of branch offices in key regional ports such as Porto Torres, Cagliari, Sarroch, Oristano, and Arbatax. This extensive local presence allows for direct oversight of maritime traffic and immediate response to the needs of shipowners and vessel operators throughout the Sardinian coastline.
The core operations of Unimare Shipping Agency involve the meticulous coordination of vessel port calls. This includes managing all necessary documentation for customs and immigration, ensuring that vessel clearance procedures adhere to local regulations and international standards. Beyond administrative tasks, the team facilitates essential husbandry services such as crew change logistics, medical assistance, and the delivery of fresh provisions and technical supplies. Coordination with local port authorities remains a central function, ensuring that berth assignments and pilotage are handled efficiently. The agency also oversees bunkering operations and waste disposal, providing a comprehensive link between the ship and the shore-side infrastructure.
In addition to commercial shipping support, the group offers dedicated assistance for the cruise industry and private yachting sector, handling shore excursions and specialized concierge requests. Their operational framework is supported by a quality management system certified under ISO 9001 standards, reflecting a commitment to structured and reliable procedures. By maintaining constant communication with all stakeholders, including cargo interests and terminal operators, the agency ensures that every stay in port is optimized for time and cost. The depth of local knowledge possessed by their staff enables them to navigate the specific logistical challenges of Sardinian ports, supporting international maritime companies operating in Italian waters.
