Vessel & Rig Agent – Port of Durban
Licensed agency with a Durban office – Africa's busiest port, east-coast hub
Afrishore holds its own port agency licence at Durban and operates from an office in Yellowwood Park. The Port of Durban is the busiest container and multi-purpose port in sub-Saharan Africa and Afrishore's east-coast hub, acting as full vessel and rig agent for rigs, drillships, OSVs, PSVs, AHTS, tankers, FPSOs and cargo ships.
Durban agency means working one of Africa's most congested ports to schedule: port clearance and port-authority liaison, immigration and crew changes, dry docking and repairs coordination, husbandry, bunkering, project and abnormal cargo and full mobilisation/demobilisation.
Run alongside Afrishore's west- and south-coast licensed network and the Walvis Bay base, the Durban office extends the same single point of accountability across the East African seaboard, toward the Mozambique Channel.
