SHIP AGENCY SERVICES
We act on behalf of vessels and operating companies, to handle various formalities incidental to arrival/departure from the various ports in Okinawa, as well as loading/unloading cargoes.
We also carry out a wide range of other services, such as holding meetings between the terminal officer and vessel, arranging chandlers, supply of stores, fresh water, garbage/sewage treatment, repairs, arranging crew change, and transporation.
