The port agent is the first point of contact for the captain and owners before, during and after a vessel's stay in port. Frachtcontor provides experienced and effective teams at its offices, always available around the clock and ready to perform all the operations that are requested by the shipowners, captains and charterers.

Every year, about 2,500 ships are cleared through our offices between Antwerp und Gdansk. As a charterer's agent or owner's agent, Frachtcontor handles all work required when the vessel is in port:

•    Organising the mooring berth
•    Arranging for pilots, tugs and linesmen
•    Handling all formalities with the relevant authorities
•    Preparing and accompanying loading or unloading operations
•    Assistance for crew members (e.g., crew change)

We care for our clients

At request, our agents also organise transport from port to hinterland and vice versa. Major industrial clients and shipowners have relied on our Agency service for over 30 years. Our clients know they have an experienced partner in Frachtcontor capable of giving them reliable advice at any time.
