Shipping agency at Egyptian ports and the Suez Canal
Husbanding agents, owners' representatives and protecting agents.
Atlantic Marine Services acts for shipowners and managers at Egyptian ports and through the Suez Canal. We take special care to avoid unnecessary delay to the vessel, whether she is entering at the quay or passing through the canal.
Husbanding agents
A husbanding agent looks after the ship's own needs in port, as distinct from her cargo: crew, stores, spare parts and services. We combine this with our ship supply and transit services, so one office handles the whole call.
Owners' representatives
We represent the owner locally and attend the vessel on the owner's behalf.
Protecting agents
A protecting agent is appointed by the owner to look after the owner's interests when another agent is handling the port call. We act as protecting agents at Egyptian ports and for canal transits.
Where we act
Port Said, Suez, Adabiya, Ain Sukhna, Damietta, El Dekheila, Alexandria and the Egyptian Red Sea ports.
