MARINE & DEFENSE OPERATIONS (ENG)

In LOGISTICA SHIPPING agency we understand that Marine Operations are complex and time-sensitive
operations which we handle we discretion and efficiency. Therefore, we play a vital role in ensuring the smooth
and efficient functioning of marine operations. With a focus on maritime safety, security, and efficiency, we
offer a range of services that contribute to the overall management and regulation of activities at a Port. Here are
some of the key marine operations provided by our maritime agency:

Port State Control:

We assist in conducting port state control inspections to enforce compliance with international maritime
conventions and regulations. We assist in inspecting foreign vessels that visit their ports to verify their
compliance with safety, security, and environmental standards. Through these inspections, we aim to prevent
substandard vessels from endangering lives, property, and the marine environment.

Search and Rescue Coordination:

We provide coordinated search and rescue (SAR) operations. We establish rescue coordination centers and
maintain close cooperation with other agencies, such as coast guards and emergency services. By efficiently
organizing SAR efforts and utilizing resources effectively, they help save lives during maritime emergencies and
accidents.

Maritime Security:
We collaborate with law enforcement agencies to prevent illegal activities such as piracy, smuggling, and
terrorism at sea. As we coordinate with various port authorities to monitor vessel movements, conduct
inspections, and enforce security protocols to protect ports, waterways, and maritime infrastructure.

Environmental Protection:
We actively promote environmental protection by enforcing regulations and promoting sustainable practices
within the maritime industry. We monitor vessel emissions, control ballast water management, and regulate
disposal of hazardous materials to prevent pollution and minimize the impact on marine ecosystems.

Licensing and Certification:

We are responsible for issuing licenses, certificates, and endorsements to seafarers and vessels. As well as set
and maintain high standards for maritime personnel, ensuring that seafarers possess the necessary qualifications,
skills, and medical fitness to work onboard ships. Similarly, we inspect and certify vessels to ensure compliance
with safety and operational standards.

Cargo Loading and Unloading:

Ports are responsible for the loading and unloading of various types of cargo, including containers, bulk
commodities, and breakbulk cargo. They employ specialized equipment such as cranes, forklifts, and conveyor
systems to efficiently transfer cargo between ships, trucks, and storage facilities. Proper planning and
coordination are necessary to ensure timely and secure loading and unloading operations.

Storage and Warehousing:

Ports provide storage and warehousing facilities for various types of cargo. They have designated areas, such as
container yards and warehouses, where goods can be temporarily stored before being further transported or
released to the consignees. Port authorities manage these facilities to optimize space utilization and ensure the
safe storage of cargo.

Inventory Management:
Effective inventory management is crucial for ports to maintain accurate records of the goods passing through
their facilities. They employ digital systems and tracking technologies, such as barcoding and radio frequency
identification (RFID), to monitor the movement and location of cargo. This enables efficient retrieval, reduces
errors, and facilitates timely delivery to consignees.

Breakbulk and Project Cargo Handling:

Ports often handle breakbulk cargo, which consists of individual items or packages that are too large or heavy to
fit into standard shipping containers. These cargoes require specialized handling equipment, such as heavy-lift
cranes and specialized trucks, to load and unload them from vessels. Additionally, ports may also handle project
cargo, which includes oversized or complex shipments for industrial projects, requiring careful planning and
specialized handling techniques.

Hazardous Materials Handling:

Ports have specific protocols and regulations in place for the handling of hazardous materials. They ensure that
hazardous cargoes are properly identified, classified, and stored in designated areas. Specialized equipment and
trained personnel are employed to handle these materials safely and minimize any potential risks to human
health and the environment.

Intermodal Connectivity:
Ports serve as important hubs connecting various modes of transportation, such as ships, trucks, and trains. They
facilitate the efficient transfer of goods between different modes of transport through well-planned infrastructure,
including container terminals, intermodal yards, and rail sidings. This enables seamless transportation and
efficient supply chain operations.

Equipment Maintenance and Repair:

To ensure the smooth functioning of material handling operations, ports maintain and repair their equipment
regularly. They have dedicated workshops and skilled technicians who perform routine maintenance and conduct
repairs on cranes, forklifts, and other handling equipment. Timely maintenance helps minimize downtime and
ensures the availability of equipment when needed.
