Service

Shipping agency & ship supply across Maldivian ports

Port call coordination, vessel clearance, crew change, customs and immigration, husbandry and full ship supply — provisions, stores, spares, fresh water and bunkers — handled by a local team.

A vessel calling in the Maldives needs a reliable agent to manage the formalities and the practicalities, from the first pre-arrival message to final departure. Rohoffe acts as ship agent for owners, operators and charterers — coordinating berth, clearance and services so each call runs to schedule.

We handle clearance with customs, immigration and the port authority, arrange crew changes and transfers, and take care of the husbandry tasks that keep a vessel supplied and serviced while in port. Where issues arise, our local presence lets us act quickly rather than wait on a distant office.

With Malé as our hub and bases in Kulhudhufushi and Hithadhoo, we can support calls across the country — not just in the capital — with consistent service and clear disbursement reporting.
