Authorized agent
A local principal’s agent, not a post box.
Owners, operators, and liner companies appoint Pacific Shipping Agencies to represent them in Vanuatu. We treat that appointment as a fiduciary duty: protect the ship, the cargo, and the brand.
What appointment covers
- Nominated agency for scheduled or tramp calls in Port Vila and Santo
- Cargo canvassing support and local customer service for shippers and consignees
- Disbursement accounts with supporting vouchers
- Claims, surveys, and P&I coordination when something goes wrong
- Confidential handling of commercial and crew matters
Line representations change. We do not list principals on this page unless the appointment is current and confirmed. If you are a shipper looking for a specific service, contact us and we will tell you who we represent on that trade — or introduce the right party.
Principals considering Vanuatu
If you need a reliable agent in both commercial ports, write to the Port Vila office with your trade, expected call frequency, and reporting requirements. We will respond with coverage, systems, and a draft agency agreement.
