Shipping line agent

Shipping line agent — a company representing the interests of a shipping line in the port: it accepts bookings, issues bills of lading, arranges the release and return of containers, and interacts with cargo owners.

Key operations with containers and the line's documents pass through the shipping line agent. The release of cargo and the accrual of demurrage or detention depend on it.

We will take on the interaction with the line and the clearance.
