Vela Ship Agency – Comprehensive Maritime Services in Turkish Ports

We organize and coordinate all types of maritime vessels and vehicles arriving at Turkish ports—covering passenger transportation, cargo handling, maintenance and repair, surveys, supplies, crew changes, loading and unloading, pilotage, tugboat services, and more. Working closely with all relevant individuals, organizations, and authorities, we ensure full compliance with the laws of the Republic of Turkey and guarantee the timely, accurate, and complete reporting of all required information.

As the commercial and administrative representative of the vessel, we deliver end-to-end ship agency services. Our responsibilities include safeguarding the vessel’s legal rights and interests, managing all operational procedures, obtaining necessary permits, documents, and services, coordinating ship-to-shore communications, handling crew-related matters, arranging port fee payments, and managing maritime trade–related financial transactions.

By collaborating in an organized manner with port authorities and qualified service providers in every region we operate, we enhance operational efficiency and reduce time losses. Our strong communication, trust-based relationships, and effective information flow allow us to significantly improve port performance and create substantial time advantages for our clients.

Our maritime professionals possess extensive expertise in cargo operations and are highly skilled in planning and supervising the loading and unloading of various types of commodities. This deep knowledge makes them among the most experienced specialists in their regions.

We offer an easy-to-use network directory at each port, enabling rapid communication with our operations teams and maximizing service reliability.

We handle all documentation and communication between ships and authorities for Turkish Straits (Istanbul and Çanakkale) transit passages, ensuring fast and secure processing, timely fee payments, and the safe, uninterrupted passage of vessels.

We manage ship accounts and financial transactions professionally, providing faster and more reliable service with pre-agreed agency and port fees at selected ports.
