Port Agency & OPA / CPA
Full port agency, owners' protecting and charterers' agency at every major Bangladeshi port.
Service Overview
Port Agency & OPA / CPA
Anik Shipping Lines acts as port agent, Owners' Protecting Agent (OPA) and Charterers' Agent (CPA) for bulk carriers, tankers, general cargo and project vessels calling Chattogram, Matarbari, Mongla and Payra.
One appointed team owns the call from pre-arrival to sailing, so principals deal with a single desk that knows the vessel, the cargo and the authorities involved.
