Service Details
BSTL’s shipping services are built on decades of experience in the Ghanaian maritime industry, particularly in the petroleum and dry bulk sectors. As a fully recognized port and shipping agency, we act as your representative, ensuring that all operations related to your vessel or cargo are executed with precision and care.
Our comprehensive shipping services include:
- Cargo Inspection Coordination: We work closely with independent cargo inspectors to ensure that all cargo adheres to the agreed-upon specifications and quality standards. By overseeing the inspection process, we eliminate the risk of non-compliant or defective goods being accepted or released.
- Port Services Management: At BSTL, we manage the full scope of port services, from securing berths for incoming vessels to coordinating the unloading and loading of cargo. We liaise with stevedores and terminal operators to make sure every operation is completed quickly and accurately. This minimizes vessel turnaround time, allowing clients to maintain tight shipping schedules.
- Customs and Documentation: We handle all necessary customs clearance, documentation, and related paperwork, ensuring compliance with both local regulations and international shipping standards. From the preparation of bills of lading to obtaining port clearances, we manage the bureaucratic side of shipping so that our clients don’t have to.
- 24/7 Vessel Monitoring and Cargo Updates: Transparency and communication are core to our service model. We provide real-time updates on both vessel and cargo status throughout the entire shipping process. Whether you’re tracking vessel movement or waiting for cargo delivery updates, BSTL keeps you informed every step of the way.
- Crew Management and Welfare: In addition to managing cargo, BSTL supports vessel crews by arranging visa acquisition, transportation, accommodation, and medical services as needed. We also oversee crew changes, ensuring a seamless transition and making sure that all crew members are well taken care of while in port.
- Emergency Response and Problem Resolution: Should any issues arise during the shipping process—whether it be an unexpected delay, safety concern, or regulatory challenge—our team is prepared to step in and resolve the situation promptly. We also coordinate emergency responses in the case of operational accidents or incidents involving the vessel or cargo.
Our shipping services are designed to ensure smooth, efficient port operations, whether you’re transporting critical petroleum products or large quantities of dry bulk. With BSTL’s support, you can focus on running your business while we take care of your shipping needs.
