We manage and streamline operations across multiple ports in Haiti with a team that understands efficiency and your bottom line.

Ship's Agency

When a vessel calls at a Haitian port, the ship's agent is the owner's eyes, ears, and hands on the ground. Haiti Shipping has been providing ship's agency services since 1994, representing all types of vessels — bulk carriers, tankers, container ships, break-bulk vessels, and specialized craft.

We manage every aspect of the port call on behalf of vessel owners, operators, and charterers, ensuring that calls are handled efficiently, cost-effectively, and in full compliance with Haitian maritime regulations.

What We Handle

  • Pre-arrival coordination with port authorities and customs
  • Berth planning and scheduling
  • Crew assistance, including sign-on/sign-off, medical support, and shore passes
  • Husbandry services — provisions, bunkers, spare parts, repairs coordination
  • Documentation and clearance (inward and outward)
  • Bill of lading management and cargo documentation
  • Disbursement accounts and transparent financial reporting
  • Post-departure reporting to principals

Who This Is For

Vessel owners, operators, charterers, P&I clubs, and freight principals who need a reliable, licensed agent at Haitian ports.

Import & Export Customs Brokerage

Navigating Haitian customs requires deep knowledge of local regulations, strong relationships with customs officials, and the ability to anticipate problems before they cause delays. Haiti Shipping is a licensed customs broker handling both import and export declarations across all cargo types.

  • Export documentation and compliance
  • Tariff classification and duty calculation
  • Liaison with Haitian Customs (AGD) and relevant government agencies
  • Cargo inspection coordination

Stevedoring

Haiti Shipping provides stevedoring services for a wide range of cargo types, with break-bulk operations as our primary specialty.
